4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for young girls. Strong (yet human) heroine., August 28, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Invisible Chimes (Hardcover)

Judy Bolton is a much better heroine than Nancy Drew--and it is very clear in this book. Judy Bolton has a temper (unlike Nancy Drew) that may get her into scrapes, she grows up (unlike Nancy Drew), and she has distinguishable friends. In this book, she meets a new friend and learns about trusting others. The Invisible Chimes is a good book to learn about antiques and relationships. Good mystery... Good book

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best mystery books!, December 31, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Invisible Chimes (Judy Bolton Mysteries) (Paperback)

This book took me a matter of 2 days to read.I was really engaged in the story Margaret Sutton described to me. I have no complaints for the book at all! Judy Bolton of course is working on a new case that unexpectedly popped up in an antique store while admiring a beautiful porcelain antique.Tons of action takes place at the beginning of the story when cars are stolen, but slowly fades to a sweet but secretive mystery. I know this sound confusing but trust me you will get the whole point when you read the story. I love how the author ties the 2nd book mystery " The haunted attic" with this mystery! WARNING: READ THE 2nd BOOK BEFORE THIS! It provides spoilers for The Haunted Attic! I love this Book! must read!

This review is from: The Invisible Chimes (Judy Bolton Mysteries) (Paperback)

"The Invisible Chimes", the third title in the Judy Bolton Mysteries, is a perfect example of what makes this series so rewarding, particularly for those who are reading them in sequential order. For although it can be thoroughly enjoyed as a "stand alone" adventure, "Invisible Chimes" is actually an intriguing and clever follow-up to the previous title in the series, "The Haunted Attic".

Here, while working on a new mystery involving a daring robbery and an injured young girl with a secret past, Judy slowly becomes aware that she (and by extension, we the readers!) overlooked an important clue that she uncovered during the course of her last investigation ... a clue that might have a direct bearing on her current case. How Judy fits together the final pieces of a puzzle that was larger than she (and we) first suspected makes for thrilling, "just-one-more-chapter-before-bed" reading.

As the mystery unfolds, Judy learns some more valuable lessons about herself and other people, confronting her own quick temper and tendency to pre-judge others, and experiencing a healthy dose of shame along the way. That's what makes Judy one of the most interesting characters in juvenile series history ... her imperfect humanity and her ability to grow as she experiences more of life. "The Invisible Chimes", like the rest of the series, is highly recommended.
