The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery (Sparky #1)
by Rosalind Barden (Goodreads Author) |
|
| I expected a light 1930s kids’ caper. There’s more bite to it than that. It’s set on Bunker Hill in 1932, and the period feels lived-in, with its Depression streets, faded silent-film glamour, tabloids whipping everyone up and a mayor always ready fo ...more | |

| I picked this up knowing it was pitched as a coming-of-age story for adults, so I was already thinking about childhood trauma and imagination as a way through it. What I didn’t fully expect from the marketing was how instantly the book puts you in th ...more | |
"It starts slow, but don't give up or put down. It is worth reading until the end
Let me first say this book starts super slow, but please, I beg - don't put it down or give up. The author sets the pace in a way that will draw you in and make it worth " Read more of this review » |

| In Oracle, Alex finds an old camera that takes photos of things that haven’t happened yet. Only you don’t get the whole story from the pictures. Just enough to act on, with plenty still missing. That idea was the part I liked most, and the first few ...more | |

If somebody described Outland crossed with Aliens, set around Jupiter and with some of The Expanse thrown in, I’d probably pick it up. That’s more or less what this is. And for quite a lot of the book, it works. Kainrad's Jovian system feels like a re ...more |
