The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd
Hi my name is Kire. I love to read, play volleyball and play my viola.
The London Eye Mystery is an exhilarating mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat for almost the entire book. It follows Ted and many of his family members. Ted is an interesting kid who thinks much differently than most people. He is almost always thinking in terms of weather. This special thinking was able to figure out the mystery of his cousin’s disappearance.
Ted and his family’s life was normal until everything was turned upside down when Ted’s cousin Salim and his Aunt Gloria came to visit on their way to move to Manchester. At first everything seemed fine until the next day when Salim, Ted, and his sister Kat all got into a line to get on the London Eye. A strange man offers them a free ticket and Salim agrees to take it and go on the London Eye by himself. Ted and Kat patiently wait for Salim’s pod to come back to the ground. When his pod eventually lands, Salim is nowhere to be found. It is as if Salim magically disappeared while he was on the London Eye. This is how the mystery of how Salim disappeared began. Eventually the police were called after Salim wasn’t found for an entire day. Ted didn’t think that the police would come up with the correct theory, so he came up with his own 9 theories. This was how Ted figured out what had happened to Salim. If you want to find out which of his nine theories was correct, you are going to have to read the book.
This book was interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. The only thing that I didn’t love about this book was that it had a slow start. It took a long time before the action started; however, once it did, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an interesting mystery. All in all, I enjoyed reading this book.
