Stolen Secrets: 2 (Red Rock Mysteries) Reviews
-
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I mean, so much. The end made me tear up, which means it was good. ;) Very, very few books can make me get emotional. Then again, this also wasn't a fangirly kind of emotion, which is rarer, so there is that.
I easily predicted Sam's occupation - not the details, but the basics. And I also thought it was predictable that Ashley , but it was also pretty sweet. And also, sometimes these people ARE NOT SMART. XD
Overall, great book! I'm glad I already have books 3 and 4. ;) -
It is refreshing to read a book aimed at tweens that doesn't feature smart-mouthed kids who hate their parents. The story does address some issues that face that age group and the associated angst is dealt with in a thoughtful (and, yes - Christian) manner. I was happy that a major cliff-hanger from the first book was dealt with early in the series and I will enjoy watching the relationship with the twins and their stepfather continue to change and become stronger.
-
My favorite part was when they proved that Danny was innocent, and that Cammy and Tracy were lying just to get attention and to not get in trouble for being late to school. My least favorite part was when no one was allowed outside freely because they thought that there was a dangerous criminal on the loose who might kidnap somebody, but there wasn't.

I gave this 5 stars because I read it to my 8 year old grandson and he never moved a muscle. He thought is was "awesome" and asked it we could read the next book. The events kept us both on the edge of our seats. He was sure Danny didn't do it and voiced it at every mention of the name. The twins are young and easy for him to relate to.

This is currently my favorite series. I can't wait to read the third book. Both kids are facing the truth that their step dad gave the .

Two girls apparently got kidnapped, and the police suspect a guy named Danny did it. The Timberline twins find startling new evidence that says Danny is innocent.
This book was great! I loved it! -

This book was amazing! I am currently on the fourth book of this series, and I've been loving it.
They are so interesting. I would highly recommend reading this series. -
Another fun mystery about the Timberline twins, their bravery and thoughtfulness, and their passion for discovering the truth!

Number of pages: 198
Genre: Mystery/Children’s fiction
Series: Red Rock Mysteries #2 (must be read in order)
Age recommendation: 9-13
Summary: After the bombshell their stepdad dropped on the twins, Bryce and Ashley don’t know if they can trust him anymore. As they try to figure out what Sam meant by saying he killed their father, they run into another problem: an attack on two of their classmates from Red Rock Middle school.
My thoughts: The more times I read this story the less I like it. Here’s what I didn’t like this time around: the conversation doesn’t flow at all. I understand how what is said could make sense in context, but it often requires a few more words of explanation to make full sense. For example, this is what happens on page 125: (Ashley’s mom asked her to get corn from the freezer in the barn and there wasn’t any so she came back inside…) ”I opened the kitchen freezer and pulled out a dwindling bag of peas. “Mom, we must have used the corn already.” “You hate peas,” she said.” I get that her mom supposedly looked over and saw Ashley with the peas and made a comment, but it is badly written and there are some more situations like this in the book.
It’s also kind of sad because Ashley and Bryce are trying the whole time to figure out what Sam meant by saying he killed their father. I can’t pretend to know what it would be like to lose your dad but I know it would be extremely difficult, especially to then have your mom remarry (and then have that stepdad say he was responsible for the death of your biological father). At least this statement is finally resolved at the end of the book.
Stolen Secrets is not as good as I remember it being, but I would still recommend it for 10 to 13-year-olds. (That’s when I liked it the best).
My personal rating: 3/5 stars.

RED ROCK MYSTERIES: STOLEN SECRETS #2
By Jerry B. Jenkins and Chris Fabry
When twins Bryce and Ashley Timberline’s new step-dad drops the bombshell that he killed their father they don’t know what to think. Secret phone calls, missing food, and an attack on some middle school students add up to a mystery that doesn’t make sense.
Can Ashley and Bryce untangle the mysteries that they and Red Rock are caught up in? Or will the secrets that surround them destroy their family and an innocent man?
Join the mystery and the search for the truth! -
I'm particularly fond of this series because I would read them aloud with my sister. I think I connected to the books because the siblings in it shared a bond like the one I shared with my sister. Their relationship was so real! We would spend half as much time laughing as we did reading! We would stay up late at night to finish these books. That was when Mom worked night shift, so we didn't have to worry about waking anyone with our laugher. I wish I could live those times over again!!

I thought that this was a great book. It's the second book of the Red Rock Mysteries series. In this book the main characters names are Bryce and Ashley. They are twins that are 13 years old. They find themselves trying to solve a mystery everywhere they go. This book is easy to read, and very entertaining. Once you pick up the book you just can't stop reading.
-
I'd read a later volume in this series and hated it, but I saw this one at a local thrift shop and decided to give the series another try. I quite liked this one - the short chapters keep it moving as does the action.
-
This is a good series for younger readers. I enjoyed reading this book, too, and I liked that there were two mysteries going on at once. That certainly made it more interesting, although some parts were kind of predictable.
-
Bruce and Ashley find out that there doubted father,Sam, killed there real father and they try to find out( but Sam did not really kill there father). over all really good book. the main characters are christians
-
This one wasn't the best but i still liked it. i read it a while ago so i don't exactly remember a whole lot of it but i know it was good.
