Review for "The Heist at Niagara Falls" by Sir Steve Stevenson:
It's the fourth book from the "Agatha: Girl of Mystery" series written by Sir Steve Stevenson. The story focuses on Agatha and her team solving another mystery. This time she will travel to the Niagara Falls where she will have to find the priceless jewels which have been stolen from the hotel room of a famous opera singer. It is believed to be the work of a notorious thief who is most wanted in Canada.
Action, adventure, wits, risk-taking, intelligence, beautiful landscapes, dense jungles, teamwork and much more can be found in this exciting story.
Mr. Stevenson can be considered the founder of detective and murder mystery novels for children through his simple style which is easy to understand. While reading each of the five volumes, the reader will also find the style of Agatha Christie (creator of the famous detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple) mixed with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the Sherlock Holmes series), spy movies and Indiana Jones from which a masterpiece was born. Not only that his novels made us readers get out of touch of reality for a little, but they invite us to take a journey around the world too.
Adventure, trips, mysteries, bravery, cleverness and intelligence, humor are only some of the things that you’ll discover in the Agatha: Girl of Mystery series. I recommend these books not only to young readers, but to adults as well.
