My child read this at the beginning of 3rd grade and he loved it. He had already read the other "Elliot Stone" book and has been asking for another one. He was disappointed when I told him there were only two books out.

I have been looking for age appropriate books to get my son to read. He is in the 3rd grade and could really relate to this book. It was a fun story.

I am a third grade teacher, and read this book to my students. They LOVED it! There were several times when they clapped....which they have not done for any other book this year. They begged for me to read more each day. The children can SO relate to Elliot, Jake, and Cassie. I think they could see themselves going through these experiences. It was so real to them. The children enjoyed writing in their literature journals after being read to, and predicting future events. They also wanted to create a "spy kit," and guess what was in the desk. It definitely made our read aloud and book reflection time very enjoyable and exciting. It is such an awesome book for children, that I convinced our librarian to get a class set so that next school year I can use it as part of our literature curriculum.
