По следите на научното откритие
(Цялото ревю е тук: https://knijenpetar.wordpress.com/202...)

Колко приятно и вълнуващо е, когато детска поредица е превърната в страхотно криминале, а и е чудесен пример за хлапаците с развита логическа мисъл. Наред с приключенията и забавните ситуации, из Касъл Кий се извършват истински геройства не от кой да е, а от група деца, които не само си прекарват страхотно, но и помагат на полицията. Е, полицията научава последна за геройствата, но това е подробност за ограничени родители. 😃 Важното в случая е, че младите детективи си вършат чудесно работата и дават отпор на престъпниците. „Островът на приключенията“ е наистина мега яка поредица, както би казал някой почитател на криминалните истории. И така стигаме до „Тайната на динозавърските кости“ („Фют“, 2017, с превод на Юлия Спиридонова-Юлка) – поредната порция екшън и разкрити престъпления. Тук дори имаме повече герои, макар някои да не се изявяват толкова с логическа мисъл, а с конспиративни теории. Ако някъде открият нещо, което може да се върже с куп местни и световни легенди, то веднага би послужило за доукрасяването им. Представете си кости, които могат да са на извънземни рептили. Е, това е забавната част в случая. 😊

My daughter laughed a lot when the doberman pinchers played with Drift. That was comic relief. Also funny how each time they think it is someone it actually isn’t. Like when they thought it was Margaret Atherton, but then they thought it was the wooly mammoth Ivan. It was just funny when Liam Kerrow ran into the crowd of protestors with the No to Raven banners. Huge rolling laughs from my daughter. Somehow this series is right up her alley.

The third in the series that I have written. Enjoyable - kids will definitely like this book. If you are of a young earth perspective, you will probably want to discuss some concepts such as radiometric dating (and assumptions involved in this) with your children.

There were a couple of phrases and insinuations that made me uneasy in allowing my 6 year old to read this book. For example, "Like when King Mark of Cornwall wanted to murder Tristan because he'd been getting a bit up close and personal with his wife, Iseult." I really don't want to open her mind to this possibility just yet. I imagine it will probably go over her head at this stage. There is also a little bit of silly boy girl crush kind of stuff in here.

A good read, but very assumption and quick to jump on the person x must have committed the crime, without any real back up to their accusations.
