In the deep end

“In the Deep End” is the second book of the Clued-up six. Earlier I wrote a review on the first Clued-up six book “Faster than Lightning” and this is the second book.

“In the Deep End” is a great book for kids around the ages of 10-13. It is about the girls this time. First, Gabby, who is one of the most talented swimmers in the state, who is always beaten by a girl named Andrea Taylor. Second, Hannah, the brightest kid in Teasdale Secondary School misses out on the national "Whatever, Wherever" competition when she looses to her classmate Dave Kelly.

Neither Andrea nor Dave have beaten the girls in respective competitions, but know they just can’t stop. What is going on in the rural town of Teasdale? Just healthy competition or something far worse? You will have to read the book to find out.

Rating: 8.5/10.
