In this book there are three kids named Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose. They go to New York City to see Dink's uncle. They get caught up in a police investigation. Someone has stolen a precious jewel and Dink's uncle is a suspect. Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose have to figure out who is the real crook before it's too late.
I like this book because the kids figure out the crime before the police do and I think that's kind of funny.
I liked the character Ruth Rose because she dressed in exactly one color and I thought that was kind of cool.
I liked the illustrations because they helped describe the story and it helps you picture the story in your head.
I recommend this book for ages nine to twelve because kids under nine, I don't think they will be able to understand the book. You should read this book because it is funny and interesting.
