Good fun – helped our reluctant reader and was very well-received by our avid, though picky, reader
We have one avid reader and one budding reader who both really like this book and the whole series. They say it’s really funny and is a good story. It was recommended to me based on it being a good, clean, fun read.Middle school is definitely a good age for this book, but that’s just a general reference point.Much of what follows is aimed at those with struggling readers. If you want to help a reluctant reader, get him anything, at any age level of reading, that he will read. This book fit the bill. In my personal and professional opinion: absolutely hold out on smutty (pornographic) materials or stuff that might make him hate family, his life or make him feel isolated. You have only that to watch out for. Struggling readers don’t need the burden, nor do they need neurological diminishing that is (scientifically proven) to happen with porn. That’s how it works with videos, video-games, too. The last thing you want is to diminish his ability to focus for long periods of time or get so focused on immediate gratification that he won’t bother with words! Otherwise, find something – anything – he will like! If it has funny parts, all the better. I think that is what happened with this book and eventually pulled ours in. Just keep giving him (or her, obviously) books about things he is already interested in, until you hit gold. Online groups are everywhere to help with recommendations.

JUGGLING THE NUMBERS
Clever, humorous and well-written detective mystery targeted for late elementary and middle school readers. I must admit the plot kept me guessing and entertained. Chapters are short and easy to read. Pencil sketches are an added bonus. I particularly enjoyed the way that the authors found a way to integrate those dreaded hard to solve math word problems right into the story line. As a bonus, the reader is presented with a few more problems to solve at the conclusion of the mystery. They can check their answers on the authors’ website.Felix, Gertie, Stanley and Charlotte are a bright group of sixth graders who become interested in forming a detective agency. Using Felix’s tree house as a base of operations, Felix attempts to find out who is stealing his food from the kitchen by using his binoculars. When Charlotte brings a police scanner up to the house, they hear about an armed robbery at the local jewelry store. The budding detectives rush to the scene. They discover the owner Mr. Franklin has been hit on the head and his most valuable possession, the Claymore diamond, has been stolen. Police apprehend a suspect quickly, and the case appears closed. Our four young detectives believe otherwise; they refuse to quit until what had appeared obvious is revealed as erroneous.Lots of twists and turns in the plot. The characters are believable and authentic middle grade students. Readers will find themselves enjoying the math challenges that come along with the case. Great way to get students involved with math while reading. Look forward to reading new books in the series as they are released.

We liked the book
My 11 year olds comments: “The book was great and it’s really trying to get you into math and opens your eyes to look at numbers more”We read this book together at night. I liked the larger print and the story was easy to follow. Chapters were a little long for how we read at night but it was nice to see my kiddo engaged the whole story.

Great book for young kids (used with 10/11 year olds)
This book is a really great addition to my self-contained special education math class. My students are in 6th grade and they love doing read aloud with these novels if they complete all of their work for the day. We are only on chapter 3 so far, but they are so engaged and have been working diligently to have reading time! They have already asked if there are more books in the series.

This was a very funny book. I was fixated with the story and didn’t want to put the book down. I recommend it for kids who are six years old or older. – Max (7 years old)

buzy mom –
great book to read at bedtime not scary a few laughs but not too immature. Also good to talk about how not everyone fits in one group at school
