The London Eye Mystery
A story about family, self-belief and bravery, The London Eye Mystery is a brilliantly inventive crime-caper perfect for fans of Enola Holmes, High-Rise Mystery and A Kind of Spark. 11.32 a.m. Ted and his sister Kat watch their cousin Salim get on board the London Eye. The pod rises from the ground, high above the city. 12.02 p.m. The pod lands and the doors open. Everyone exits - everyone but Salim. Has he spontaneously combusted? (Ted's theory.) Has he been kidnapped? (Aunt Gloria's theory.) Is he even still alive? (The family's unspoken fear.) Ted doesn't see the world like most people he knows and is sure that with his "unique operating system" of a brain he can uncover the truth about Salim's disappearance. So, teaming up with Kat, Ted sets out to do just that - following a trail of clues across London. But with time ticking dangerously by, can Ted solve the mystery before it's too late?

🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd 📚 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was such a cool mystery! I loved trying to solve the clues alongside the characters. Some parts were a bit vague, and I wish there had been more description, but it was still really fun to read. I didn’t love the ending, though—I wanted a bit more! 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There weren’t any pictures, but the writing was good enough that I could imagine what was happening most of the time. A bit more detail would have helped, though! 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book showed me how important it is to notice small details—they can solve big mysteries! Even though the ending wasn’t my favorite, I still enjoyed the adventure. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 4/5 Hoots – A fun mystery to solve! If you like books that make you think and put clues together, this one is a good pick!
