Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is an amazing and a very interesting story  about a 14 year old chef called Neil Detective Nakamura are trying to solve the mystery of all the dead chefs in Vancouver, Canada. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is an amazing book because you always thinks the murderer is one person but it is actually not. I would.  I would have solved the problem by collecting enough evidence to make it obvious. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be page-turner because you always want to turn to the next page and keep reading. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders  is an amazing book if you like food and mysteries; I strongly advice that you read this book.

     Neil Flambé and the Marco Polo Murders is one of the best books I have ever read. It includes humor, mysteries, and more! I loved the book because it has great cliff-hangers and it is really funny. I would have changed the part where he went to check out the crime scenes, because if he looked around more, he would have found out some important clues. If I was Neil Flambé, I would’ve interviewed the people that I was suspicious about. If I could pick one juice word to describe the book, I would choose exciting because the book is filled with cliff hangers and excitement! I loved the book Neil Flambé and the Marco Polo Murders; I hope more people read it!

            I loved the book MiNRS because the characters never gave up even though they were kids and had to fight the Landers. I liked the book because the characters always had a challenge like they did not have food or they could not call Earth. If I could change a part of the book, it would be when Christopher loses his middle and ring finger because it scares me. If I were a character in the book, l would tell Chris that we need to attack the Landers now. If I pick one good word to describe the book, it would be adventure because the kids needed to survive, explore, and attack. I recommend the book MiNRS to you because it will make you think of the future.

Neil Flambe and the Tokyo Treasure book review by Sebastian

                Neil Flambe and The Tokyo Treasure is about a chef who hates mysteries but he always runs into them.  I loved this book because Neil was always thinking about what may or may not happen next.  I would change that Isabella gets shot in the arm because then you don’t now if she will live or not.  I would have tried to push Nori off the boat if I were Neil.  I would choose ADVENTUROUS because Neil and his friends are always trying to figure out something and Neil never gives up.  If you like cooking and mysteries, Neil Flambe and the Tokyo Treasure is the right book for you.

Book Blog on Neil Flambè and the Crusader's Curse

In Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse, Neil Flambé and his partner Larry Flambé have been working hard on mysteries, but this crusader mystery is really stumping them with all these clues. Some clues don’t even make sense! Neil and Larry don’t know what to do and time is ticking. I liked Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse because I never could tell what was going to happen next. If I was the author, I wouldn’t change anything from this book because Kevin Sylvester wrote it perfectly. If I was a character in the book, I would of just done what Neil did but a little bit earlier in the book. If I could pick one word to describe Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse, it would be unpredictable because I could not predict that the book would go down like that. Neil Flambés career could go up in flames or succeed and rise to the top? Read Neil Flambé and the Crusaders Curse to find out.

Andres`s Duel In The Desert Book Review

            In The Duel In the Desert, Neil Flambe’s restaurant, Chez Flambe, got demolished. So, Neil and his cousin, Larry, go to the Broiling Man Food-Truck Festival. Where Neil realizes that Salsa Verde Ranch is scheduled for demolition. I loved this book book because I am a real foodie, I love to cook, and I like mysteries and adventure. If I could change something about The Duel In the Desert  it would be would be that Larry made less food puns. If I were Neil, I would have realized quicker that you put a cake on a skillet upside down earlier. One word to describe this book is scrumptious. The Duel In the Desert is an amazing book, and I think you should all read it. WAIT!! First, read the rest of the Neil Flambe series, and I recommend this book to every chef in the world and everyone else, too.

The Duel in the Desert is a mysterious book that makes you want took keep on turning the pages. It is a book about a quest that Neil and Larry have to search for a gold mine... I loved the book more than any other book in the series because the mysteries take longer to solve. I wouldn’t change anything because the book is perfect the way it is. I would have solved the problem just like Neil and Larry because I am a good problem solver. A word that describes this book is mysterious because you never know what will happen next. If you love mysteries the Neil Flambé series is the Perfect series for you.




Liam's Review on Neil Flambe and the Bard's Banquet

If you want to read a great book with plenty of mystery, adventure, and of course plenty of delicious food about a chef/detective then read Neil Flambé and the Bard’s Banquet. I loved the book because I love a great mystery with adventure, and I just had to keep turning the pages. If I was the author, I would not change a thing because I could not think of a better way to connect all the clues to solve the problem. If I was a character in the book, I would have solved the problem the same way they did because each clue leads to another, and there would have been no other way to solve the problem. One descriptive word to describe this book is a mystery because you always try to guess what’s going to happen next. If you want to read the best mystery ever, and have your mouth water, read Neil Flambé and the Bard’s Banquet!

I loved reading Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders because the book is about a mystery
about many chefs dying around town.  If you like food you will love this book. I would not change anything in the book because If I was in the book I wold have solved the problem just like Neil
because he was very clever. A word that describes Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is delicious

because the whole book is related to food. If you love food you have found the perfect series to read.
