My third grade class and I are completing our unit on Realistic Fiction books. I chose Julian Secret Agent because my students loved Julian's Glorious Summer. The children enjoyed this book for so many reasons. The vocabulary used was contemporary and that made the story easier for the children to understand. As a result of their ease with comprehension the children began to participate in class discussions with a great deal of enthusiasm. The short chapters also helped to make the children feel comfortable with reading and that gave them the encouragement to want to read further. Additonally, the children enjoyed the illustrations because they were so closely aligned with the text that they couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Lastly,the children were able to appreciate the humor in the book because it was written at their level. I found that reading this book with my students made teaching reading an absolute joy. My class and I highly recommend reading this book because you will beg for more.

I enjoyed this book because it was very exciting. The author used vocabulary that was easy for me to understand. The illustrations were very detailed and matched the text. I recommend reading this book.

The story Julian Secret Agent is one of my favorite books because I love books with a little mystery. I can look at the silly illustration in this story and laugh for days. We are finishing our unit on realistic fiction books and this book was a pleasure to read.

I recommend the book because it's exciting. First,I like it because Julian, Gloria,and Huey are crimebusters. This leads to many adventures for them. You can read about the Great Goo Goo and The Wizard. Will they get the $25,000 reward? Read this great book to find out what happens.

My son loves the Julian series of books. He looks forward each night to reading the next chapter. These books are very entertaining and cute.

Three young kids--Julian, his little brother Huey, and best friend Gloria, look through the Most-Wanted posters at the post office. They decide they'd like to investigate crimes and criminals. Later, in a parking lot, they see a dog locked in a hot car. A passerby says, "That's a crime!" and they know their calling has begun. Afterwards, they rescue a lost toddler from playing too near a water fountain. This story is too funny because the kids are so innocent: they go to a bar to look for crime, and are spotted by someone who knows their dad. Oh, boy, are they in trouble now! Next, a young man working in a fast food shop matches the description on a Most Wanted poster. They go to the police chief, who in turn, asks them for help in identifying this possible criminal, who turns out to be the chief's son! This delightful story is well-written, realistic and interesting, and depicts characters still in the wonderful freshness of youth. A beginning chapter book for hungry early readers, Diane Allison's illustrations help depict the African-American neighborhood, such as a scene in the park under the MLK statue.

Julian, Secret Agent was written by Ann Cameron. The main characters are Julian, Huey, and Gloria. They are all in the city. They are trying to find a criminal! I liked the book. You should read it!
