5.0 out of 5 stars Will the kids and the police find the burglar who stole ita.
I enjoyed this neat,short,clean story with suspense and adventure all rolled into one great story that the reader will find hard to set down until they have completely read the whole ebook story.
I recommend this book for say kids in early part of grade school up or any adult too who enjoys stories of this sort. So, for these reasons I have felt that it needs a five star rating. I believe I was able to download this ebook quite awhile ago for free and waiting for just this period of time to be used. Great work Paul! By Angela
