My son really loved this book! He couldn't put down, was reading it way past bedtime and even while he was brushing teeth for bed. He can't wait for the next book and wants to order it as soon as it becomes available. Great book for tween or early teen reader, suspenseful reading.
This was an excellent book, comparable to the likes of Alex Rider and The Hunger Games. The author fully enthrals the reader with a well-written book, satisfying to any spy-novel fan. I would recommend it for ages 10-14. (From a 12 year old in London)
I was looking for a book for my 12 year old daughter who had hit a dry spell with engaging books she was willing to read to the end. A friend recommended this so I bought it. I thought I'd take a peek and see if it might appeal to my daughter before giving it to her. I couldn't put it down.This book is a rip roaring ride through Paris with a truly likable main character and a cast of supporting characters as colorful as a band of Rhald Dahl characters. It's a page turner packed with cliffhangers that keep the pace brisk.My daughter caught me reading it obsessively and giggling at Aertker's comic scenes. I told her what I was reading and why and she immediately demanded I hand over "her" book. She slipped into her room and didn't emerge. I peeked in and asked her if she liked it and she told me she LOVED it. I let her stay up late and pried it out of her hands at 11pm. (Then I finished it!).She read Brainwashed for the next two nights and finished it. She said, and I agreed, that it's the most fun she's had with a book in a loooong time.I was a 4th grade teacher for many years. This novel has an exciting plot, intriguing characters, and short, snappy chapters that speak to the middle grade reader and keep the pages turning. The hero of this novel, Lucas Benes (pronounced like Tennis) lives in a hotel with an international group of rescued homeless children who are being trained by Lucas's adoptive dad to counter the efforts of a powerful international child trafficking organization posing as a legitimate corporation. The story starts when Lucas finds a baby left at the hotel he lives in and this discovery sends Lucas and friends on a mission that never let's up. It's funny, smart, cleverly plotted and has real heart. I think any child from age 9-14 would love this book (and so would their parents). It's good, clean fun and the author make Paris shimmer with life. Enjoy.
As a middle school educator, I am always on the lookout for fun and exciting books to share with my students. Crime Travelers: Brainwashed has a little bit of everything for middle readers: action, adventure, humor, suspense, international travel, cool technology, and best of all - no parents to intervene. This book will engage even the most reluctant reader. - Brenda Stockdale
I thoroughly enjoyed Crime Travelers, Brainwashed. I think it should be a part of all school AR reading curricula. I believe tweens and teens will enjoy. I believe parents will enjoy reading this book to their children. Perfectly sized chapters make for quick bedtime reads and also serve as success points for children who have yet to developed a love of reading. It creates a sense of accomplishment. That along with the excitement of the storyline will keep readers looking forward to the next chapter. Great job Paul!
a very easy read and very exiting with some cool suprises and funney moments looking forward to the next book :)
It was full of action, adventure and many other great things. I can't even describe how much I loved the book
This book is a delight to read even as an adult! I laughed, I learned, I thoroughly enjoyed every page! Exciting and fast paced, it is like a social studies lesson disguised as a fun thriller. Give it a go, no matter what your age, I promise, it will be a great ride!!
