Reaction:
I enjoyed the book, I thought the story was fun and entertaining with mystery. i thought the characters of Frank and Joe Hardy are people who care about the people in their lives but they get consumed by the case and neglect them. The setting of the story was the Funspot amusement park. With the story being in an amusement park it reminded me of when I went to an amusement park, and the fact that I do not like large amusement park rides.
Extension Ideas:
1. The story teaches about helping people.
2.The story teaches that you should not ignore the ones you care about.
3.This book teaches you how to read clues to be able to put a puzzle
together.
