Los Hollister es la serie de libros que me inició definitivamente en la lectura. Recuerdo haber leído el primero y, con todo el dinero que había ahorrado por mi primera comunión y en todos los años anteriores, ir a por los 32 restantes, que costaban 600 pelas cada uno. Los compré todos en la feria del libro de Ceuta, lo recuerdo perfectamente, y volví a mi casa con dos bolsas y una mochila llenas de libros, que me duraron tres meses exactamente, para sorpresa/preocupación de mi madre. Cada libro es el mismo, con aventuras algo diferentes, y con los mismo personajes, que no evolucionan nada en toda la serie. Pete, Pam, Holly, Ricky, Sue, puedo recitar sus nombres treinta años después sin consultarlo. Yo siempre fui de los Hollister, despreciando a quieres eran de los siete secretos, los Cinco o (puaj) Puck. Junto a Mortadelo, los tres investigadores de Alfred Hitchcock y (a petición de mi padre) las aventuras de Guillermo, comenzaron a formar mi universo lector. Y por ello, aunque sean libros de lo más intrascendente, los considero fundamentales. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This story involves the family and they head to NY where they have clues from a mystery they are trying to solve.
Underground tunnels is fascinating because many cities have them, most not used any longer.
The dad is on a business trip trying to locate an engineer to finalize the toy he and another are creating.
The kids find a Chinese family who has a dad that is an engineer and they get paired. The kids try to solve the old letter left in a book.
They are continually chased and cause harm to the shop where they visit to unmask the final clue...
Lots of sketches and action as the kids rush all over the city. Love the landmarks. ( )
