Operation Sherlock

I have the original set of four (from the 1980s), but it looks like there are now only three offered. Did they combine or condense them into three? These were my favorite books in elementary school. Just curious!

I got into Bruce Coville back when I was in late elementary school, back around the time that these books had first come out, and as I look back nostalgically after years of growing up and surviving college as an English major, I give these books credit for being my first true literary obsession. There are so many various characters to identify with, an fascinating mystery and plot that grips you the whole way through, and as a child, this book fed to my endless imagination and made me realize just how exciting and amazing of a place books and writing can be. Although the A.I. Gang was my personal favorite of Bruce Coville's as a child, I give credit to him and all his books for making me want to become a writer. I recommend this book to anyone who has an imagination and cannot stand the thought of being restricted by what the immediate world offers.

This book is one of the best of all time (and I am old enough to know)! I've read it over and over again, bringing my copy to shreads and disrepair after much tape had been used. Unlike many people, Ray Gammond and sometimes Rachel, were always my favorite characters. Besides the fact that the kids are all brilliant (more like genuses), brave, and true, a deserted island isn't exactly anyones idea of fun. But these kids pull together and make it "the experience of a life time", and even get to save their parents from "the black glove" of doom!!! It's a book for people of all ages, who just need a break from the ordinary world. (as well as the 2 sequels: AI Gang Robot Trouble and AI Gang Forever Begins Tomorrow).

I have read this book, over and over and over again. It's very descriptive. And Wendys attitude is so funny. She is my favorite. And I find myself saying some of her sayings.

I liked this book a lot! I would only suggest it if you like Science Fiction. It is the first in the series, so if you read this one be ready to read the next in the series beacause it's a real cliff hanger. One reason I liked this book is it has lots of discription!!
