The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd

The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd



Ted and his big sister Kat, take his cousin Salim to the London Eye(a HUGE ferris wheel). Salim boards the capsule and seemingly disapears into thin air. Ted and Kat try to solve the mystery and find their cousin. Ted is very intelligent, but has a "funny brain", (Aspbergers maybe?)--between his brains and Kat's sneakiness they investigate the disappearance--did Salim get on the Eye? Did he disguise himself? Was he kidnapped? Did he run away? This book reminded me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time--a mystery solved by a boy whose brain works differently and views the world differently than "normal" people. This is a good mystery, there is suspense, humor, cross dressing--a very entertaining read.
