Jeffrey and his friends are in big-time trouble. Their last
case finding a treasure almost got them killed. Jeffrey’s parents have grounded
him for life. Jeffrey’s parents really
believe he thinks he is smarter than anyone and therefore goes looking for
trouble. To tell the truth Jeffrey does believe he is smarter than most people
and his friends agree. It is only a few days before Christmas and Jeffrey and
his best friend Pablo are raking an elderly neighbor’s yard. When they uncover
a body covered in the leaves and discover he is still alive they call the
police. But, that is never enough for
this pair. They go to the hospital to see if they can find out more. Here they
are witnesses to the person who they believe finished killing the man they had
discovered. Once again by calling the police and speaking with them they are in
trouble with their parents.
This is another case of Jeffrey and his friends getting
themselves into trouble trying to do the right thing. In this book the danger
is much stronger. There is stronger cases of violence so this is not
recommended for elementary kids who have a higher reading level. This book
touches on not only the mystery at hand but a class of cultures and cultural
beliefs including religious beliefs. All
the way through I kept wondering how they were going to get out of the
situation. This is another wonderful
mystery that I highly recommend.
