Seconds Away 



Seconds Away by Harlan Coben

 Mickey and his loyal new friends, Ema and the Spoon find themselves at the center of a terrifying mystery involving the shooting of their classmate Rachel. Now, not only does Mickey need to keep himself and his friends safe from the Butcher of Lodz, but he needs to figure out who shot Rachel no matter what.
Mickey Bolitar is very smart just like his uncle Myron, in this book, it is going to take all of his determination and help from his friends to protect the people he loves, even if he does not know who or what he is protecting them from. In this book Mickey has to overcome a house that caught on fire, the police and even having a gun pointed right at his head.

"We opened the bag in it was wads of bills and under neath them was bags filled with white powder. We turned around and there was the man with the scar holding a gun right at spoon's chest."

Mickey is smart, quick-witted, great problem solver and clever. He is a junior in high school. He is great at basketball and is 16 years old. I like Mickey because he is great at solving mysteries.

I would recommend this book to everyone it is thrilling and exiting.

  1. So the cover makes it look like it's a pretty serious crime case or mystery to solve. I'm glad to see someone enjoying a different genre. For some reason mysteries don't always get read a lot now, and we have some pretty good ones.

  2. This book sounds really intense! I love mysteries and this one seems to have a crime twist to it, which makes it much more thrilling! It is interesting that Mickey seems like such a normal person that is able to solve this big crime/mystery.

  4. I think this book would be great! My favorite kind of book is mystery and fiction. My favorite kinds are ones like these! When people are really smart but not super old or really old at all and can solve really complicated mysteries.
