I thought this was a really good book. It kept me wanting to read on and not stop until I got to the end when the mystery came to an end. And when the book ended I was kinda dissapointed because the book was over and I wanted it to kinda come out and punch me in the face with a really good ending that I couldn't have guessed it if depended on my life. But I can't complain because Pete Hautman did a "perfect" job writing this book and I want to read the other books in the series. Hope they are as...more
Do you believe in doppelgangers, that everyone has a double somewhere in the world? Well, Brian Bain seems to have one; at least that is the only explanation for the kid on the missing children web site who looks just like him; either that or else his parents are kidnappers. Roni Delicata, Brian’s crime-solving partner, found an age-progression picture of a Korean child who had been abducted when he was three years old and she is convinced he is Brian. Even Brian thinks it looks like him and his...more
This is part of the Bloodwater Mystery series. Roni Delicata is always looking for a mystery to solve so when she scrolls through the missing children website she is shocked to find the face of her best friend Brian Bain there. Brian was adopted as a baby and suddenly his parents become very uncommunicative about his early life. Could he be the missing kid? As the teen duo pieces together clues, other people come out of the past and some are threatening. The ending of this book surprised me.
The third in the series, this one starts with Roni scrolling through a missing children website and finding a picture that looks very much like her friend Brian, who had been adopted as a child. Although Brian's family would rather she drop the issue, Roni pursues this with the sometimes reluctant Brian, getting them involved with a nasty man that may have been part of his past. Very unusual but satisfying conclusion. A fast read for 5th grade and up

Much better than the first one. Not my fav. in the world but better. It was pretty intresting at parts. Good for readers transitioning into YA.
Remember these, Ginia? Did you ever finish these books? Thier really very good.
This is a fun mystery -- although there is not enough on-the-edge-of-your-seat dangerous actions -- with a decent ending. The lulling in between actions due to teen-parent everyday conflicts gives the story some authenticity but sacrifices the pacing. I guess Horowitz has the better idea following the time-honored tradition of making the main character an orphan in his Alex Rider series so that the child can be in danger the entire time and not worried about where the parents are and why they wo...more
It was so-so. You can decide if you want to read it or not.
In a word: Fun. This is not the sort of book I was expecting to like, but the authors' charming humor and brisk pacing won me over.

When Brian's friend Roni sees a composite sketch of an abducted child that looks just like Brian, things get really interesting. Brian is adopted; are his parents hiding something? Somehow missed the others in this series so I need to start from the beginning. I'd really give this 3.5 stars because it does require a little too much of a stretch to believe the ending events - still worth the time though.
When Roni sees a picture of a missing person on a website, she thinks it looks just like her friend Brian, who was adopted. Stringing together a list of clues, Roni and Brian try to uncover some mysteries in his past and solve the riddle of the missing look-alike.

Fine. A nice little mystery. No penetrating insights forthcoming on the matter.
