Reviews for Watch Me

[jrlibrary · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

McClintock is one of those authors who always delivers a tale worth reading and Watch Me is no exception. It doesn’t have the meat of some of her Robyn Hunter mysteries, but it’s still satisfying. I don’t want to spoil the plot of this brief, 94 page book, so I’ll just tell you that Kaz is a high school boy whose impulsive act one afternoon causes complications in his already less than smooth life. The conclusion is a convenient one, but is still believable.
