Summary: Kid's Mystery tale excites my students
Review: As a speech and language educator in the New York School System, I am constantly trying to keep my children engaged and keep them learning. I selected 'Where Is Robert' by the Seewald Mother and Son Team because of the unique combination of the mother and son writing team and the enticing story line. After scanning the book, I thought it was age appropriate for young adults and decided to share the book with my students.

The reaction... the kids loved it! They were really turned on by the suspenseful yarn that the Seewalds knitted together and I have since shared the book with some of my peers, who also found the story an interesting and enjoyable tale.

I look forward to seeing more 'YA' novels coming from any combination of the Seewald Family.

In short... I highly recommend the story.

Summary: Y A Mystery with clever plot and and dash of humor
Review: Written from the first person viewpoint of Phil, the story has a sense of reality. Phil has both common sense and a sense of humor. He is trying to become a varsity wrestler at his high school. He begins receiving puzzling letters from a boy who was his friend back in elementary school. The notes from Robert indicate that he is in a lot of trouble. Are they legitimate cries for help? Phil's younger sister tries to help Phil discover the truth. A well-written, interesting mystery suited to middle grades through high school.
