Megan D's Book Review - "The Manhattan Menace" A Karito Kids Adventure


We are very excited to have our first book review written by our special guest contributor, Megan D. Megan is 10 years old and is in the 4th grade. She read The Manhattan Menace, the first book in the Karito Kids Adventure series. The Manhattan Menace is about Zoe, an 11 year old girl living in present day New York City, and how she takes on a huge real estate developer to save her home and avoid having to leave the best city in the world. So, without further ado, here's Megan!

The book was perfect for me because it was an exciting mystery, which I LOVE!!!!!

One of my favorite parts of the book was when Zoe goes into an old house owned by her Mom. Zoe and her friend Hanna were searching for the missing tiara that she and Hanna heard was worth a lot of money. They tiptoed into the house and a couple of minutes later a construction man came up the stairs, grabbed them by their shirts, and shoved them down the stairs. He takes them to his boss named Barrington Smith. He told the construction man to take them to Zoe's Mom's house. Luckily she did not get in trouble.

I was on the edge of my seat when I read those few pages!

Another suspenseful part of the book was when Zoe distracted a guard by playing a special guitar in a museum while her friend Hanna hunted in a file for some information on Emma Roger's house.

To find out more about Zoe and Hanna's search for the tiara, I strongly suggest you read this book!



Thank you Megan for your terrific review! We can't wait to hear what you think about Nairobi Nightmare featuring Lulu from Kenya!

Stay tuned for more Karito Kid Adventure book reviews by Megan D.!

This review is very helpful. Its so nice to hear a kid's opinion of something, and not just the manufacturers. We're looking forward to Megan's opinions of the other books.
