The Super Spies and The High School Bomber by Lisa Orchard


  1.    The Super Spies are at it again!  Sarah and Lacey Cole's day started more unusual than most. Sarah was thrown against the wall and received several cuts to her body. What was it? Sarah knew it was an explosion but just what caused that?  She would soon find out, as would the rest of the town a  bomb had gone off at the local high school during a faculty meeting. As clean up began, a second bomb went off. Uncle Walt was at that faculty meeting and Sarah couldn't reach him on the phone. The Super Spies meet at the willow tree to try to put the information together.  Sarah decides they should investigate and the case really begins.  Putting clues together and digging up information to help the police puts the Super Spies in danger as usual but Sarah and the others won't stop. Sarah begins to think maybe this bombing and her parents disappearance are connected. But why and how? Leave it to the Super Spies to find out things the police would take weeks to learn. Now to catch that bomber before he hurts more people.
     Once again Lisa Orchard has hit the nail square on the head! This series of books is perfect for girls or boys but young girls who love mysteries will devour these books.  They remind me of an updated Nancy Drew-type of mystery. There is danger, but nothing so bad it would keep girls from enjoying it.  The Super Spies retain their charm and personalities in this second book, something that can be difficult to achieve.  The story is another one that could be ripped from the headlines.  As a matter of fact, it could be a parallel story to the bombing that happened in the little town where I live. The high school here was bombed, but students were in class at the time and it was devastating.  Read about the Super Spies and introduce the young lady in your life to a series she'll remember for years to come.

    I found no issues.

    I gave this one 5 out of 5 books because I love how true to the original story and characters Lisa Orchard kept this one.
