Book Review

The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd ISBN 9780440868026

Ted [12] and sister Cat [older] watch as their cousin Salim boards the London Eye. They track the sealed pod as it travels around and when the doors open at the end and people exit Salim has vanished. Brother and sister come together as they try to make sense of what has happened and find their cousin.
A great mystery! Suitable for older primary children upwards. Ted is telling this story and he has Asperger Syndrome so we get an insight into how his brain works differently.
I thoroughly enjoyed this as did my year 6 boy.

    I enjoyed the book too and so did Cameron, my Year 7 boy. Thought the cover was a bit drab but yes a good mystery read.
