This book was a terrible disappointment. It was my son's first "Chapter Book" and almost put him off reading forever. There is no plot, the premise is absurd and one cannot tell one character from another as they are so poorly developed. It was required summer reading for his school and I thought we'd never get through it.

I had heard this was a wonderful series; perhaps we just chose the worst of the lot.

It is a mystery in the sense that the children do not know wholeaves them messages,but that's about it all.Nothing is happening thatmakes the story really keep the reader in suspense.

I thought this book Was so boring! There wasn't even to solve.If you read this book prepared to be bored.

These books really have no meaning. There isn't any depth to the characters or plot. I wouldn't recommend these books to anyone.

The characters are less than one dimensional. The plot is under-under-under-developed. Please, stop writing.

A Secret Eye was a huge disappointment. The characters were not as developed and colorful as one might expect. The diary/journal form became ho-hum after the first few entries. The dragging subjects and subject matter made the 470 pages difficult to wade through. Augusta has always been my home and I did enjoy some of the local history. I am certain a more interesting story could have been told about my hometown.
