My favorite character was Damian because he solved mysteries. it was a fiction book. it’s interesting to me, because there was a detective on nearly every page. I would recommend it to my friends.

I thought the book was interesting, funny and entertaining to read because it is about a boy who is a detective. His personality being funny, brave, intelligent and clumsy. His mum thinks of him as an ordinary boy but actually he is smarter than the police. I liked the detective the best because he has mad cap ideas and lots of humour. I would recommend this book.

I thought the book was interesting because it tells you how to be a detective and how to spot criminals in your town. This is a fiction book and my favourite character was Damian because he has solved many cases and he is a detective. It interested me because it tells you how to spot strange things like criminals. I would recommend it to someone else who is age 6 to 7.
