Secret Agent Jack Stalwart: Book 4: The Caper of the Crown Jewels: England

By Elizabeth Singer Hunt

Book Overview

In The Caper of the Crown Jewels , Jack is summoned to solve a matter of grave national importance: the theft of the Crown Jewels of the British Empire from the Tower of London. Arriving on the scene, he is greeted by a traditional Tower guard- a Yeoman Warder (or Beefeater)- who explains what's missing: The Imperial State Crown, the Sovereign's Orb, and the Sovereign's Scepter with the cross containing the finest-cut diamond in the world, the Star of Africa. Jack identifies Ivan the Incredible and his assistant, Jazz, as the thieves immediately--but puzzling out how they did it is stickier. The famous Tower has the most advanced security in the world, and even using his impressive gadgets (the Encryption notebook, Heli-Spacer, Rock Corer, and Rope Tornado) Jack is flummoxed by how the jewels were spirited out. However, Jack can conjure up more than gadgets--he foils the evil magicians with some powerful mojo of his own, dispels an invisibility enchantment, and narrowly avoids the executioner's block before restoring the jewels to the crown and earning the gratitude of the Queen herself

Secret Agent Jack Stalwart- Book 4 Caper of the Crown Jewels

This was another great Jack Stalwart adventure. This was a little more frightening (Jack might get his head cut off with an ax) than the others which was difficult for my 6 year old.

great book

My 8 year old son does not enjoy reading, and is very much middle of the class in terms of capability. He asked me for action/time travel books and I found this series for him. He loves them! When I ask him to go and read, he will actually do so.....
