JJ Bennett
is a Junior Spy. Mmm, I wonder how you get a job like that?
This is an
international mystery adventure. Story instantly kicks off with JJ and his friend
following a Russian spy to the Prague Castle. Although the two friends start
off with a witty repartee between them, the story didn't settle on a plot
foundation. The reader is practically thrown into a spy game already, not
really knowing what it's all about or why we're even here.
So many
questions came to mind as I was reading this. Why were the kids in Prague? How
did they get involved in this case? What was the case? But, most importantly,
how did JJ come to be a Junior Spy? For being first in the series, it was
absolutely pertinent to provide at least somewhat of a background.
Story was
too complex and reading through it without the proper basics just further
strained the experience. I'm sure some readers would enjoy this "James
Bond" style adventure, but it didn't suit me.
My rating: 2 stars
