The Mummy Snatcher of Memphis 

I give this book so many stars, that I would use up too much paper. An excellent book!' Scholastic Literacy Time Plus. - 

The Book of Bones

Kit Salter is a huger Heroine in a small package. Beautifully constructed, she's a character that the reader will just love to be around. Add to the mix a whole host of supporting cast members and it really is a dream story for the younger reader. Part Indiana Jones, part Doc Savage, part mystery all wrap up to give the reader something unique. Great fun all in and whilst danger is a constant companion, smarts alongside a touch of luck oft wins the day.

> I won't say too much about the ending, because I don't want to give anything away, but the book stops on a real nail-biting cliffhanger and there is no safety net of a first chapter of the next book slotted in at the end! So, I'll certainly be queuing up for the next instalment in Kit Salter's rip-roaring adventures to find out what happens next!

I loved this little book - it is so deceptive; it looks small in size but the writing and the adventure is huge and full blown. Kit Salter is a fantastic heroine. The writing is good and it really flows well. Kit's friends, Waldo, Rachel and Isaac are sweet kids, and there are glimmers of them developing very much into their own creatures with Kit, the heroine, being the strongest character by far. Set in a time when the opium trade was at its height, where people could be kidnapped and mysterious aunts worked for the government, the novel really "harkens" back to a different era. The enormous amount of research that went into this is hardly perceptible. We get snippets of information about China, the opium trade, the socio-political goings on etc. but honestly, it never overshadows the story. It enhances the background but never intrudes and it is for that reason that I think Natasha Narayan is a bit of a legend. We learn, without realising that we're learning. An excellent book to curl up with on a dark evening. It is geared towards confident young readers and may very well get a look into by reluctant readers. If for nothing else, the overall adventure and the cliff-hanger ending. It is driving me to distraction not knowing what's going to happen. I realise it's greedy of me, but I can't help it. It's just out and I am already impatiently waiting for the next one. Yes, I'm a brat, but I'm allowed to be. So there. As an action adventure book nut, this one holds its own (and is in fact better) against some adult action adventure novels in the ilk of Paterson, Brown, Gibbins. My Favourite Books blogspot
