About the Book

Josh and the Gumshoe News Crew by Melissa Perry Moraja 
Title: Josh and the Gumshoe News Crew: The Super Secret | Author: Melissa Perry Moraja | Publication Date: May 5, 2014 | Publisher: Melissa Productions | Pages: 154 | Recommended Ages: 6+ (read-aloud) Summary: Up until a few days ago, nothing extraordinary had ever happened in ten year old Josh Wunderkind’s life - except eating a whole pot of pasta by himself. But that all changed after a mammoth-sized bird hit him smack on the face with a glob of neon green bird poop, triggering his superhuman Wunderkind ability and leaving him with the responsibility of caring for a baby bird he named Max. Now Josh was just like his older brother and twin sister Madison-super extraordinary! But what Josh didn't realize was that being superhuman wasn't all fun and games. And things only got more complex in Josh’s life when his two siblings and a couple neighborhood friends persuade him to lead a super crime-solving, neighborhood news team—the Gumshoe News Crew. But not before they agree on the Super Secret and complete Gumshoe Boot Camp. Find out what the Super Secret is. Will the Gumshoe News Crew complete boot camp? Or will Josh let his team down?

* My Personal Review *

I love to read YA literature, and Josh and The Gumshoe News Crew was great! It was easy to read, understand and would be very easy to turn into a great series :) Josh is just a boy until he finds out that he has special powers or the "Wunderkind". He has no idea what it means, until he rescues a bird and decides to bring it home and names it Max. Max becomes his "sidekick" and all of Josh's friends decide to begin training themselves to become private investigators. I found this book very funny and cute, I think it it something that most kids would love! I am 38 and loved it :) The kids are not just simple characters, we find that they are very intelligent and able to take care of themselves in most situations. I love the way the author humanizes Max the Bird - he becomes an integral part of the story and saves Josh on more than one occasion! I cannot wait until the next story about the Gumshoe News Crew comes out :)

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts in the Josh and the Gumshoe News Crew Blog Tour. You should definitely check out the other Wunderkind Family books - they focus on different members of the family and they are a hoot!
