"You've got to help me," Marisol cried. "My brother is innocent!"
Jeffrey Jones is a kid with a problem. A lot of problems. He's laughed at in school. The neighborhood bully has it out for him. And his parents treat him like a six-year-old. However, Jeffrey does have one ace up his sleeve: He's a master investigator.
When the brother of a classmate is arrested for stealing a valuable painting, Jeffrey and his best friend, Pablo Reyes, form The North Hollywood Detective Club and set out to rescue him from jail. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious tattoo parlor, a glamorous television star, and a 20-year-old unsolved murder.

Appropriate Age Ranges
When I set out to write these books, I based them on the type of teen mystery books that I enjoyed reading when I was in the 7th and 8th grade. So if you're looking for some good mystery books for 13 year olds, or good mystery books for 7th graders, or 8th graders, these are perfect.
Having said that, I've heard from plenty of parents whose 10-year-olds really enjoyed the books, particularly books 1 and 2. I've also heard from parents who read the books with their 10 and 11-year-olds (a terrific practice, by the way), and the response was excellent. If your preteen (age 10-12) has good reading skills and enjoys books, then books 1 and 2, and the soon-to-be-released books 5 and 6, are excellent. Books 3 and 4 are action-packed and slightly more intense. They are appropriate for ages 12 and up.

I have assigned your book, "The North Hollywood Detective Club" as one of the textbooks at our little school, which is located right outside Paris, France. We currently have 16 students in the process of reading it. -
