As a free range kid, Angus is allowed to do things other kids his age arent like play in the street and hang out at the park without adults shock, horror! But when hes accused of stealing an iPhone from school, Angus must use all of his brains, resilience, and courage to catch the real thief, clear his name, and outwit the seriously bad dudes hot on his tail! Cute story.
Loved it. Such a fun read.

As an adult reading a middlegrade book, I was pleasantly surprised at the writing style, It was so well written and not in the way that I feel some previously read middlegrade books degrade children minds by writing in a see Jane run type of way.
This was smart. The words flowed freely not once falling stagnant,

The characters are such adorably thought out people who flawlessly take you on the journey of the school thief,

I'm ayearold woman who thoroughly enjoyed this story, My kids loved it too, We look forward to reading more adventures with Angus, Angus Adams: The Adventures of a FreeRange Kid Lee M Wintertitled chapters Dec,,pages

I originally read this as a part of a book collection “Exciting

Middle Grade Novels,” compiled by Paul Moxham,

This story is set in Australia and has words that are unfamiliar to me, But this does not stop my enjoyment of a nicely written young adult/middle school mystery/adventure,

Angus needs to solve who stole some things that was blamed on him, He and his friend Hamish lead the investigation, It makes a list of suspects, and learns some things about these people as the story evolves, Later, a girl named Bodhi makes an appearance to round out the crew to help locate the missing items,

The mystery can easily be solved by following the clues that Angus finds as he investigates, Thats what I like the most about the story, This is like an Encyclopedia Brown mystery, except the case is solved without having to look in the back of the book,

I would read more by this author,

Four. Funny, clean read

Angus and his friend, win a robotics competition, Unfortunately, items are being stolen at their school, One of the things, was found in Angus desk, Now, Angus and his friend, start trying to clear Angus of the crime, Disclosure, I was gifted a copy of this book for an honest review,

I loved the idea that Angus Adams was a free range kid, I loved that he was encouraged to play in the park, or run errands to the local market, or bike around the streets of town as I did as a child.
But for Angus playing in the street is lonelier than it was for me, his classmates are not free range, Rather they are over scheduled, even their free time is a scheduled block of a designated number of minutes on a Tuesday after school, Then life gets complicated because unscheduled, free range Angus doesn't have a perfect alibi when a stolen cell phone is found in his desk at school, and things escalate as his classmates and the staff at his school blame him for a rash of stolen electronics.


There are parts of this book I love, I love the soccer kicking girl with a less than perfect family, that she loves anyway, I love the funny guesses I have to make about what certain Australian terms mean, "eating a Dagwood dog at the Ekka" A fair, perhaps Or sitting on something I visualize as a bed or futon, until the main character pulls one over his head, so maybe it was a sweater or a blanket I'd never heard of a tidy tray, although the context soon assured me it didn't hold cat litter.


I love that the minor choices a kid might make are explored here in ways that are realistic, Someone plans to do the right thing, except in the moment it is easier to be silent and go along, Later something goes dangerously wrong but a little bit of calm thought and refusal to be a victim goes a long way, I love this story for its humor, it's reality, and most of all for its characters, This book is AWESOME!!! I got it for free on my kindle!!! When Im not writing books, I work at my day job as a psychologist in the area of parenting and child behavior research.
I have some boring scientific publications out under a pen name but find writing for children a lot fun!I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia with my husband and two sons.
