Customer Reviews

A 12 year old boy who loves this book

I recommend The Carjackers because it has so much action and excitement. I really like the way "the Rhinos" (a club) handle mysteries. My favorite character is Matt, the leader of the club. I like Matt because he acts like a leader and he is funny. My second favorite character is Jon, because he is so skilled in finding wild animals and trapping them. I also recommend this book because it's a good story for a family to read out loud. To Shel Arensen: Thank you for writing these books. I really enjoy them and I can't wait until you publish more. Keep up the good work.
