Completely unimaginative

There is a group who doesn’t exist. They are called the Secret Organization of Clever Kids or S.O.C.K.S. Kid Combat, secret kid agent and leader, and his gang are out to save their town from the likes of Jones who is trying to take over every inch of their beloved town.

If you can step back after weeding through way too much fluff and extra stuff, the storyline is cute is and would appeal to the 9-12 age group. They probably wouldn’t notice the nume More...

This is a book for middle graders, or as we say in Australia “primary schoolers”, which covers the ages of 9 to 12 year olds.

It's a sort of cross between Get Smart or Inspector Gadget verses Superheros, although none of the characters have super strength or can fly. The reason I’ve made that connection is because the kids are a bit inventive and use different gadgets and they wear a uniform or costume when assuming their “other” identities.

I'll prefix this by saying that perhaps I am biased as I personally know the author.

That said, I did enjoy this book. The premise of "No violence, no foul language" I believe would be a big hit for parents & teachers alike to offer this book to the 7 to 11 year-old crowd.

I would not hesitate to purchase a copy for each of my nieces & nephew.

Well done, Chris! Looking forward to Volume 2.

The Adventures of Kid Combat is full of action. This book would be great for younger readers. I like the characters. Each kid has there own special talents and personality. The plot is great and you never know what tricks Kid Combat has up his sleeve.

A fun and exciting adventure about a group of 10 year old kids who start a spy club. I read this with one of my students and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next in the series which I have on my kindle.

This is a great adventure book for kids. I enjoyed it. Most of it you could really see kids 10 years old or so doing, then toward the end it got magical, which I liked very much. I am looking forward to reading the other volumes.

Mission Impossible meets Spy Kids (1 and 2...the rest were worthless wastes of time). Very cool book. A normal 10 year old kid decides to make a difference in his town and gets to play with some awesome gadgets. :P
