This review is from: Cover-up: Mystery at the Super Bowl (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 13 year old son. I read it and enjoyed it. It was very interesting and easy to read for a kid but not too easy that an adult would not want to read it. Great story line and I would recommend this book if you like mysteries.
3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Cover-up: Mystery at the Super Bowl (Paperback)
The story line of two teens who crack the mystery involving high profile characters is not new. This book reminded me of a modern day Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew type. I would recommend this book for someone who likes sports (in this case, football) and the publicity surrounding it. It is not a suspenseful book, but a good book for those (like teenage reluctant readers) who want/need something to read that will keep you interested, but still be able to put it down.
