I have not personally read these books, but I can tell you that my 12 year old son has really enjoyed them. He loves reading and I think I've purchased several of these books in the past month. I'm a mom that isn't fond of books with evil things or a lot of violence and books without that are hard to come by. I've been happy with most of these books.
I bought this book for my 13 year old son. I read it and enjoyed it. It was very interesting and easy to read for a kid but not too easy that an adult would not want to read it. Great story line and I would recommend this book if you like mysteries.
Cover Up: Mystery at the Super Bowl is the last part of a trilogy. The book is about two teen reporters who have solved two huge sports mysteries, a kidnapping at the U.S. Open and blackmailing at the Final Four. The main characters are Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson; they are both 14 years old and appear on the USTV kids' sports report, so they are pretty much celebrities at their schools. Stevie and Susan Carol get invited to the Super Bowl, but then Stevie gets fired from USTV for no reason. But Stevie's mentor, who writes for the Washington Herald, gets him credentials to see the Baltimore Ravens and the Los Angeles Dreams play in the Super Bowl.Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol solve mysteries with each other and make a great team just like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. One of their mysteries begins when Susan Carol was at a party one night, and a drunk guy reveals information that he was a doctor for the Dreams, and the Los Angeles' offensive linemen were all taking steroids.Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol once again investigate a huge sports mystery, but this time they're not working together. Will Stevie and Susan Carol solve the mystery? Will the offensive linemen come clean? Is the doctor a bad guy? You'll have to read the book and answer those questions yourself. Cover Up: Mystery at the Super Bowl makes you want to keep reading and never stop.Jake R.Grade 6Ms. Kawatachi
Purchased for my 13 year old nephew and he absolutely loved it! He's a huge sports enthusiast and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
The story line of two teens who crack the mystery involving high profile characters is not new. This book reminded me of a modern day Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew type. I would recommend this book for someone who likes sports (in this case, football) and the publicity surrounding it. It is not a suspenseful book, but a good book for those (like teenage reluctant readers) who want/need something to read that will keep you interested, but still be able to put it down.
This book along with all the others is thrilling to the very end, and it has just the right amount of moments between Stevie and Susan Carol to make you really care about their relationship. There are 6 books in the series and I hope the future books are with them a little more grown up since all of us that started reading these when they came out are grown up now as well. Other than that, they're very good! All 6 of them!
i read it when i was 10 nd jusg ddn leave a review then. lol. it was nice but it took nt long and is probably the most realistic in the seres. my second favorite series ever. sorry john, but #DashnerArmy took it
Hey all you sports fans or mystery readers! Cover-Up is the perfect story for you! Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson are 14 years old and are the hosts on a sports update show, but Stevie got fired. Many people thought that it was cruel to fire a 14-year-old boy. Stevie is jealous of Susan Carol because she gets to go to the Super bowl. To satisfy his need for sports Stevie is hired for a week with the Washington Herald. Later, he is hired by CBS. Why did USTV ever fire him? Susan Carol is angry that they always get caught up in scandals. Soon Stevie and Susan Carol are stuck again at a major sporting event trying to solve a mystery. Will the dynamic duo save the Super bowl? Will the cheaters get caught or will they get away with it? This is an exciting book, which you won't want to put down. This book is for teens that don't like to read. John Feinstein wrote three amazing books. This is his third amazing book.
