Jay Walker: The Case of the Missing Action Figure

by Phillip Tomasso III

Jay Walker is an average and simple fourth grade student. He likes to brown-bag his lunch, prefers his PB & J sandwich cut diagonally, with the crusts cut off. All of that changes when Benny, a kid Jay's known since preschool, comes to him for help. Daisy Flyer's been kidnapped. A ransom note's been left behind. Since Jay's dad is a police officer, Benny is certain Jay can solve the crime. But who is Daisy Flyer? She's a two-foot tall action figure from a once-popular science fiction movie. If the demands of the ransom note aren't met, the whole school is going to learn that Benny plays with dolls. What does the kid, er-uh, doll-napper want in return? Benny's Princess Migloo Alien-evolving trading card--one of the most rare and powerful cards in the game.

No spoilers! I truly enjoyed this book, even as an adult. I think this book would be perfect for older kids who are into mystery, or are looking to get into the genre. This would also be great for those who need to fulfill mystery on their reading lists! The writing was clear and driven; no long, dragging passages. Characters and setting were modern and relate-able. I especially liked the funny go-between with the main character, Jay, and his buddy, Benny. As an adult reader, I was stumped about "who was it?" until the very end! Highly recommend this story!!!!

Jay Walker

This is a very delightful story that is great for kids ages 9 and up. I found it very enjoyable. Jay is a nine year old whose father is a police officer, and when Jays friend has his action stolen decides to start investigating the crime like a detective. This is an excellent book to get your child interested in reading. He or she will love this book.
