Review Quotes:
Set in a modern Swiss city, this classic kids' adventure mystery story features a gang of middle-grade sleuths with both determination and smarts on their side. The City Wolves, as the main characters, are engaging and charismatic-their high standards, family ethic, and determination never to stoop as low as their enemies do, make them a remarkable group. They model critical thinking, compassion, and creativity for readers. The story is fast paced, with enough twists and unexpected turns to keep readers engaged and excited until the final pages. Along the way, they'll find themselves immersed in Swiss culture, learning about how Swiss kids go to school, what they eat, and what life in a Swiss city looks like. Following a long tradition of stories featuring friendship gangs, The City Wolves and the Mauritius Kestrel is an exciting and instructive adventure. -The Children's Book Review
