A simple book, tolerable for a very young reader, but one of the most disappointing in the series. There is no actual mystery, the twins just stumble across a lost map, and then stumble across the people looking for it. They are separated from their parents while exploring the Forbidden City in Beijing, because both the parents and children are infuriatingly irresponsible. I A simple book, tolerable for a very young reader, but one of the most disappointing in the series. I get that this is necessary for The Mystery in the Forbidden City very thin plot, but it's the exact opposite of the lesson the book should teach. In the end the two of them do nothing right, and are rewarded for things they did by chance. Extremely lackluster and disappointing. Jul 13, Keiry rated it liked it. I like the idea of introducing kids to the world, but this book lacked imagination for me. My 6 year olds loved it though, as a read-aloud so we are going to try out other The Mystery in the Forbidden City in the series. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The mystery was The Mystery in the Forbidden City of fun, but I didn't like that their parents didn't even ask what they had been up to. They were supposed to be spending time together as a family, and they don't even seem worried that their young kids went missing in a place with more than buildings and 8, rooms. I wish less authors showed completely irresponsible parents. Jul 31, Sarah Rubin rated it it was amazing. Around the world with the Briar twins we go! My 5yo can't get enough of this The Mystery in the Forbidden City. Frankly, neither can my husband and I. Sweet mysteries, twins traveling with their parents but spurred to safe adventures by emails from their grandfather back home. This book took us to China. So many teasers -- things to go learn more about: Chinese emperors, including the 2yo What?!?! Said my son and animal symbolism in different cultures. The key, however, is that these books are clearly meant to be read i Around the world with the Briar twins we go! The key, however, is that these books are clearly meant to be read in order. There are growing connections even though the books also stand alone. The Forbidden City was very good. It had a lot of detail, but if The Mystery in the Forbidden City told you what it was about, it would spoil the whole book. Most of the book took place inside the Forbidden City. I really liked The Mystery in the Forbidden City names of the buildings like the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the descriptions of the statues in the Imperial Garden. Eleanor and I would both like to visit the forbidden city. My favorite part was when they went into the little red house and saw the gold statues. Read this to my four year-old son. The story wasn't very exciting, but a trip to the forbidden city is a bit like a trip to a historical land. We have been to China before, The Mystery in the Forbidden City the story had more relevancy than usual as well. May 18, Beth Anne rated it really liked it Shelves: Read this as a preview for Will, really fun book that encourages reading and teamwork. Fast-paced and adventure, for early readers.

After their adventures in Venice and Paris, Ella and Ethan have now traveled to Beijing with their travel-writer mother and homeschooling father. But when they discover an ancient map, they are so engrossed in interpreting it that they lose their tour group. Can the twins find both the tour group and the purpose of the map before their parents discover they've gone missing? This is another wonderful installment in the Greetings from Somewhere The Mystery in the Forbidden City. Like the books that came before, the twins wor After their adventures in Venice and Paris, Ella and Ethan have now traveled to Beijing with their travel-writer mother and homeschooling father. Like the books that came before, the twins work well together and are clever without seeming too adult. The entwined mysteries provide enough suspense to keep young readers guessing, and the details of the setting will likely make many readers want to visit Beijing while also teaching them a little something about the area. The large font, plentiful illustrations, and fairly simple wording make this good for those who are new to chapter books. Ella and Ethan do refer to previous adventures, which makes it more difficult -- though not impossible -- to read the books out of order. Includes a glossary with several words in Chinese, although a pronunciation guide would have been helpful. Dec 15, B rated it liked it Shelves: easy-reader- boyeasy-reader-girl. Easy to read book about a set of twins traveling around the world with their parents and coming across small mysteries that they solve. Although simplistic, I could see younger children enjoying the adventures. Nov 13, Brooklyn rated it really liked it. This book grabbed my attention because it had lots of mystery. I enjoyed it and wanted to read more. I wish there were more of these books available. I'll let this represent the 3 I read from the series today. They are quick reads; less complicated than Magic Tree House, but just as fun. Cute transitional chapter book about brother and sister twins who travel around the world with their parents and solve mysteries. Oct 11, Maximilian Lee rated it really liked it.
