An ok adventure. Kind of predictable. Way too much self reflection by Carmen. Puzzles are too easy to solve. I liked Carmen Sandiego better when she was the thief that Player, Zack, and Ivy were trying to outsmart. Oh, for the good old days of the TV show.

This book was received as an ARC from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Children's Book Group - HMH Books for Young Readers in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is my second Carmen Sandiego book this month and I am becoming more of a fan each time I read them. The book is just like the show on Netflix and all of the characters are more spunky and quirky in the books. Just like the show, this book glued my eyes to each page and when it ended I could not wait for more. I know our patrons will love this series and hope they have just as much excitement as I do.

We will consider adding this title to our JFICTION collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Educational, yet edgy. Carmen brings style back to the younger generation. I love this series and this story had great flow, interesting characters and a gripping plot!

Join Carmen Sandiego and her friends as they go on a caper, preventing V.I.L.E. operatives from stealing treasures!

In New York City, Carmen attempts to protect the Throne of Felipe IV from being stolen, only to lose it to Paperstar. Now Carmen, Ivy and Zach must recover the Spanish throne with its silver inlay--and find the other two pieces of Bolivian silversmith work before Paperstar can! This adventure takes Carmen Sandiego and her friends around the world, learning about Spanish and Bolivian history, geography, and more.

An amazing media tie-in for the popular Netflix series, "Secrets of the Silver Lion" will make fans feel as if they are watching an episode. Or, perhaps more accurately, like they are Carmen herself, Player's voice in their ear, donning the trademark red fedora, and ready for adventure at every turn!
