Snowize & Snitch

Highly Effective Defective Detectives

De: Karen Briner

Narrado por: Stacey Briner

Ever Indigo Nikita Stein is quite sure she doesn't belong at the School for Gifted Children of Genius Parents where she's mockingly called "Einstein" by her classmates. After all, her parents disappeared nine years ago and are missing and presumed dead and she has no idea if they were geniuses. She's been leading a lonely life under the care of the Doc, the kind but reclusive inventor of invisible ice cream, where her only friend is a badly programmed robot fridge with anger issues.

Things get worse for Ever when a crow delivers a cryptic message from the future and the Doc, fearing for his life, vanishes through a forbidden door. It turns out that scientists and inventors around the world are under threat—one has met with a terrible fate and another has been kidnapped. Ever must seek the help of an unlikely pair of detectives, Harry Snowize, a former spy, and Snitch, a clever and dignified rat. As the trio embark on a wild adventure across the globe to solve a mystery and save the inventors, Ever comes to realize that perhaps she’s not so inadequate after all.

A very entertaining listen!

Full of imaginative ideas and quirky likable characters. The fast paced story and wordplay continuously surprise with originality and freshness. I recommend for young and old alike. Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

A wonderful Detective story - well written

The story is intended for 9-12 year-olds, but as an adult, I loved it. It is well written and captivating. A great detective story. I loved the subtle humor employed and the magical aspects of the story - how the author develops the characters and story. Karen Briner's style of writing is a bit Roald Dahl-ish. I highly recommend this book for older children and adults as well. The reading performance added that bit extra to the story. Wonderful.
Update: My 8 year-old granddaughter was absolutely enthralled by the book and couldn't stop listening.
