   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) funstm | Dec 17, 2022 |   ) Wanda-Gambling | May 9, 2020 | ) leandrod | Feb 10, 2015 | Some years ago there was a brilliant TV series called Taken, nothing to do with the relatively recent film of the same name. It’s narrated by a girl, and starts with the Roswell Incident, I think. As soon as I started reading Shirley Link I had that same voice in my head – clever, cool and great fun. Lets you know what was happening without being over-cocky. Confidence-inspiring. In Shirley Link and the Safe Case, Shirley introduces us to her friends, Marie and Wylie, her family (archaelogist dad, cop mom) and a number of people, both kids and staff, at school. Shirley has Sherlock Holmes’ ability to see a situation and deduce what caused it. She just doesn’t push it in your face like Mr Holmes does. I understood the key to what happened to the safe that was stolen from the principal’s office, I just didn’t see the solution. Almost, but not quite. I’d make a lousy detective. Maybe that’s why I love the genre. Shirley Link and the Safe Case is the first of what I hope is a long series. It’s a quick read – partly because the writing is chirpy and interesting and you don’t want to put it down, but also because it isn’t very long. I think the sequels are slightly longer. I’m looking forward to reading the next one, and I’d go so far as to put this in the top three of my favourite reads this summer. Maybe top two. Definitely five stars!

Appartient à la sérieShirley Link (1)
"I put on my kindest face for the poor man. I even smile a little. Marie slashes her fingers across her neck, telling me to stop with the fake grin. She must think I look creepy again. I keep smiling, though. I need to practice. I have a problem with people thinking I'm mean."And so it goes, for Shirley Link. Brilliant, brazen and still a whole year away from her driver's permit. Sure, she's only 14 years old and has homework to do, but she'll put it aside for the right mystery! Shirley Link's kickoff adventure pits her against a thief who's stolen thirty thousand dollars from her school's safe. Usually, she'd wrap that kind of case up before American Idol. But there's one intriguing, frustrating detail.The half-ton safe disappeared too! Shirley must find the culprit quickly, or else her beloved principal, Mr. Reese, will lose his job. As she digs deeper, Mr. Reese looks more and more guilty. Will Shirley save him, or get him tossed in jail?"This is how it is to be Shirley Link, the best detective in the world, if I do say so myself. I can spot a lie like most people spot a zit. I see connections where they hide best. And I get in trouble every time I try to tell people what I do with my free time. Only a handful know about my talent. I prefer to keep it that way." - Shirley Link Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
