Hide and Seek

My son read "Capture the Flag" in two sittings, and he grabbed this one as soon as we had it and wouldn't let go. Kate Messner has always been a favorite of mine, and I'm so happy that she's created a new mystery with fun characters and interesting settings. I really appreciate the "travel" aspects of this book (it's set mainly in Costa Rica), and we've actually don't some online research to learn more about the locale, as she so captured by 10 year-old son's imagination. The mysteries are well-plotted and the pacing is fantastic. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be buying the next one.

My daughter, who's in third grade, needed to read books with a certain lexile for school. She brought home Capture The Flag and read to both myself and her dad. It was the talk of the night for all of us if she read one chapter while another parent was at work. I highly recommend Capture the Flag followed by Hide and Seek. Great books that absolutely get everyone wanting to "just read another chapter quick". Can't wait to read Manhunt next!!

My 8yo son loves these books. They are more mature than the books he seems to be growing out of while still age appropriate. The mystery and intrigue really keep him captivated. I like that there are some good art and history lessons in Messner's books but it's not "textbook".

This book stars a trio of pre-teens who are drawn into an international art theft investigation. While the prior book "Capture the Flag" was mainly from the point of view of the female member of the trio, this volume is told mostly from Jose's point of view. I read this book with my 9 year old, and he enjoyed as much as I did. Wonderful book, can't wait for more in this series.

I didn't think Kate Messner could meet my high expectations for the sequel to HIDE AND SEEK, but she did it! This is a fast pased, exciting story that poses many social questions without sounding like a textbook! I couldn't put it down! Finding great books involve other countries and cultures for my 4th and 5th grade students can be challenging! Thank you, Kate! I am now eagerly awaiting the next title.

Very good book. If you haven't read Capture the Flag read that too.

nice book

This book is an assigned book for 6th graders, it appears to be very popular with middle schools. I have not read the book, but my son has. Hopefully, it will teach 6th graders valuable lessons that they can apply in life.

Easy and quick to read. I enjoyed it.

This book is an awesome book. It's very intresting one. It is a awesome book for someone who likes history. Bravo Kate Messner!
