Reviews

I thought it was a good book because at the start they were in a really nice city where you could share everything. However, one day somebody stole someone else's food then it started happening all the time. Two people blamed a boy for it. Precious made a cake with sticky glue in it so whoever tried to steal it would get their hand trapped in it. This way Precious found out who was the thief. This was the start of her career as a detective. I would recommend this for people of any age.

This book was very good because Precious was a very good detective. She solved the problem of monkeys stealing food from the school. I think she would make a perfect detective. My favourite character was the monkeys because they were full of mischief and I like a bit of mischief. I would recommend this book to people who like detective work.

I loved when Precious found out that she was a detective and it was the monkeys who stole the cake. My favourite character was Precious because she was a detective and she was amazing and intelligent. Good luck!

I thought it was a very good book even though it was very short. My favourite character was Precious. I like how she thought it was unfair how people were treating others. I would recommend it to age 7+.

I liked precious and the monkeys because it was very interesting when precious was solving a case of something going missing in her school and when her dad told her a story of him nearly being eaten by a lion

Again I have read a detective book but this time I have a different result. Precious and the Moneys is a great book ...... for younger children. There is just the right amount of description, action and jokes that I would have loved when I was seven. It is a great book but not for the over 7s.
