"Breaking News" was recommended to me by a Year 7 students. The first thing I noticed when I started reading was the unusual letter combinations at the start of each chapter and soon realised they were some sort of code which I was keen to crack.

Written for younger readers, this was the first book in the "Kensy and Max" series. Although I found the plot bit slow, I will give the next book a go and I think this one was setting the scene and giving the context for what is to come next. There were a lot of likeable characters who will probably have bigger roles in the following novels, especially Max and Kensy, the eleven-year-old twins.

Overall, the mystery was good and cracking the code was fun. ( )
