Adam Sharp #5

by George E. Stanley, Guy Francis (Illustrator)

Timber! It’s off with the tuxedo and on with a red jacket when Adam Sharp goes undercover as a Mountie in Canada’s north woods. Ecanem, a mysterious logging company, is hogging Canada’s lumber business, so the Mounties call on superspy Adam Sharp to get to the bottom of things. Will this wanabee Mountie get his man—or, in this case, will he only get a moose?

Reviews

[Beverly Steinhardt · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn’t finish this book. I found it dull and hard to read. There was a great deal of detail about different philosophers like Newton and Locke and what each taught. Then it began talking about differences between the Anglican Church and the Presbyterian Church. I quit reading when the author began a discussion about how the phrase “all God’s people said amen.” caused an argument.

This is a short children’s book! Not one of my favorites to read, not sure it would really interest little kids
