The Impossible Crime (Mac B., Kid Spy #2) (2)

We had our 2nd grader read this to us -- the plot line is pretty entertaining for this series (even for adults), and it was a great book to bond with our child over. There are lots of great discussion points (historical figures, places, etc) and "stretch" vocabulary for more advanced readers. Our son really enjoyed this one and was able to read it out loud (to my husband and I) over about 1.5hrs. Definitely recommend.

My son is very picky about what he wants to actually read. Santa gave him the first book in this series, and we keep buying the next. :)

Bravo!!! Can I just say 100% 5 stars! My 9 year old loves to read and he checked out book 1 from his school library and read in 2 days. Book 2 was not available so I ordered it for him and again in two days he was done. His teacher and the librarian continued to deliver each book after that to him because they knew he was loving the series. He said I quote “ the greatest thing happened today at school mom” referring to getting the next book outside of library day. I just pre ordered the 6th book for its June release and then he will donate it to the library at his school! My parents and I lived in Prague for 2 years when the Berlin Wall came down so I’m always sharing the stories with him and so these books have many familiar and wonder places in them. Thank you to the author Mac Barnett for bringing the stories of adventure and mystery to my sons life.

These Mac B books are amusing. After reading them myself, I bought the first 2 books for my 8 year old nephew. They have subtle humor and bits of history about England. The artwork is simple yet hilarious. I love the facial expressions. If you have a reader who is reading chapter books, this is a nice transition to bigger words. There are still plenty of graphics to keep their attention and the words are a “good challenge” if that makes sense.

My 6 yr old son and I love reading these books together and talking about what will happen at the end! Great spy book for kids and funny!

This was our missing book in the series, now everyone has read it! Great 👍

I read this with my kids (we take turns with chapters). They have learned a bit of 80s history which is hilarious to hear them reference it or catch a reference in real life. They can tell you about the Icelandic flag, Beefeaters and the KGB. I hope this author writes more books!

Fun book with true facts in it.

Me gusta el fondo de la historia y que haga que los niños se cuestionen la veracidad de algunas cosas que ahí se dicen.

Nice

Very disappointed as the book was chipped off when it arrived

My kid loves these books. Good quality, hard cover. Delivered fast.

It is the best comic full of adventure and the first part was also awesome and the fast delivery of Amazon was also awesome
