Publisher's summary

James Ponti takes listeners on three heart-stopping mysteries rich with adventure, unforgettable characters, and old-fashioned sleuthing in the Edgar Award-winning Framed! series!

Middle school is hard. Solving cases for the FBI is even harder. Doing both at the same time - well, that's just crazy. But that doesn't stop Florian Bates! Get to know the only kid on the FBI director's speed dial - and several international criminals' most wanted lists - in this adventurous series that School Library Journal says combines "elements of Alex Rider, James Bond, and Sherlock Holmes".

Encyclopedia Brown meets Nancy Drew

As an avid reader of mysteries, I was curious about this bundle of mysteries featuring two middle-school students who solve mysteries. Set in Washington, DC (my hometown) and involving mostly non-violent activities, the pair use a simple, but effective, process to solve their mysteries. I especially appreciated that the protagonists spoke and acted like kids, not like adults trapped in kids bodies. Further, Brian Holden is perfect in his narration. Having discovered this bundle of three mysteries in an Audible sale, I can honestly say that it greatly exceeded expectations.

its a good story

my kid and i listen to audiobooks during drives, bed time etc. im not going to play Stephen king or got for an 11 year old. i have the harry potter books from my older kids. she didnt dig it. she liked the Carmen sandiego books so figured I'd give james ponti a try, with the city spies books. she liked them. probably listened to the first 3 5 times (and the 4th one twice). decided to go with this book. at first she didnt dig the narrator (she was expecting the city spies narrator i guess). but after 15 minutes she started digging it. we're 2/3 of the way done and she Loves it.

If you listened to city spes, you'll notice some content was borrowed between the series - but thats ok, the books for kids and find it more of a HEY THATS COOL moment.

as for an adult, who has a large collection - the plot is rather good! i mean the whole kids as fbi assets thing isn't realistic at all, but its for kids. the book hops around, similar to adult fiction writing style. im used to that style, but it took her a little bit .

It is amazing

I think it’s funny but also has a lot of action I’d recommend this book to somebody who reads and enjoys Harry Potter and Percy Jackson

Amazing!!!

This book combines all three James Ponti Framed! books into one. I love it and listen 🎧 to it all the time! The narrator sounds just like how I imagine Florian, and he’s good at doing female voices.
