4.0 out of 5 stars Fifth in series of Kim and Marc, young HAMs., July 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Disappearing Act (Paperback)

Fifth in series of Kim and Marc, young HAMs using their hobby to help others. I give this story 4 stars only because it may frighten young children. In all other aspects, I rate it a 5. In this story, we learn about a search dog, Patches; how the practice drill of Fox and Hounds can be put to excellent use in real life; and how the amateur radio hobby can be useful in serious situations. Cynthia Wall has done it again. Now, I'm looking for her next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review - Disappearing Act, June 27, 2011

This review is from: Disappearing Act (Paperback)

Another great read from Mrs. Wall, who certainly has a great sense of adventure. Kim and Marc are deep in crisis which involves a small child. Using Ham Radio, she and her friends assist the police, and pinpoint the escaping criminals. An exciting discovery is made as the story is about to end. Small children might be frightened, but they'll not forget this story.

I wish Mrs. Wall were still writing this type of story.
