Instant Menace (Red Rock Mysteries #9) Paperback – March 1, 2006

just finished reading Instance Menace by Jerry B Jenkins and Chris Fabry. This is a mystery geared towards pre-teens and teenagers.Bryce and Ashley are twins, and they are Christian sleuths. If there's a mystery, they are going to get to the bottom of it! This is the first book of the series I have read, so it makes a great stand-alone book as well, although I'm sure the other books would be good as well.In Instant Menace, Bryce and Ashley are separated at school by the new principal. The last principal thought they would do well together after their dad died in a plane crash, but the new principal thinks it's best they are separated. And why did the last principal, Mr. Forster, leave?First day of school brings enough changes, but then a teacher's prized coins go missing from a locked cabinet. Who took those? And does it have anything to do with Mr. Forster?The 8th grade class is split into "teams" to come up with a community project. The Red Team decides to create a secret chat room. Bryce is turned into the principal because of threats he made to another student in the chat room. Only Bryce says he didn't make them.Being the mystery-solvers they are, Bryce and Ashley find a clue which solves the entire mystery.I really enjoyed this book. I'm not the targeted age but it was a great read and I think anyone in the targeted age range, boy or girl, would enjoy this!

Looks like a great book

It's all about God!! That's a big deal for me its so hard to find a book that the writer believes in God

My 9 year boy loves these books. We read them together each evening. (Actually, I love them also.)They are well written mysteries set in contemporary time. Each one has great mysteries, with nice unexpected twists. The faith content is very relevant and does not come across as preachy.I grew up reading Sugar Creek Gang and Hardy Boys - I like these more.

My son LOVES this series! Thanks for selling it online. It is so much more affordable and he enjoys going back and reading these books over and over. I have to start reading it because he talks about the twins like they are real people!! This series makes God real for tweens and teens. Not boring but exciting and so real!

I wish they were a little bit cheaper but other than that awesome and I have all of them..... cool huh

Great book for all ages. Fun to read with a companion or child.Brings out good ideas on how to avoid prejudice and defend your Christian faith. Helps teach obedience and respect for elders in the face of injustice.

A super cool book! Recommended!
