        December 1, 2010

        Gr 3-6-Middle schooler Steve Brixton has read all 58 of the "Bailey Brothers Mysteries," which were written decades earlier, plus The Bailey Brothers' Detective Handbook, which has become his guidebook for his own detective agency. He frequently refers back to these books, portions of which are reprinted (old typeface and all) in The Ghostwriter Secret. Steve's first case, a missing diamond, is solved easily and seamlessly. He then becomes involved with his hero, the author of the books, MacArthur Bart, who has been kidnapped. An investigation ensues and Steve brings his friend Dana in to help. Before they know what happened, the boys have been kidnapped, too. Barnett has written a fun, adventure-filled book. This is a great choice for slow or reluctant readers.-Patty Saidenberg, George Jackson Academy, New York City
