About the story

As a licensed private detective, 12-year-old Fletcher Moon (nicknamed Half-Moon because he's short) loves solving crimes. He doesn't enjoy being attacked and then being framed for arson. An unlikely ally (Red Sharkey of the notorious local crime family) helps Fletcher escape from the police and go undercover to solve the mystery that has them both in trouble with the law.

My opinion

Wow, this was a really awesome mystery. Fletcher tells a great story that was laugh out loud funny. I would definitely tell my friends to read this book.

About the story

Conor Brockhart was born in the 1890's when men only knew how to fly in balloons. Conor, however, had the mind of a scientist and is determined to fly one day. His early years were spent playing with the princess of the Salte Islands and learning about life from a French aeronaut. Unfortunately for Conor, an evil scheme to take over the kingdom puts his dreams of flying on hold.

My opinion

What an awesome story, filled with adventure, murder, intrigue and a touch of science!
