Reilly's Walk - Jack Graystone Mysteries, #1

Jack Graystone Mysteries - For young adults seeking an alternative to fantasy fiction. Once you have finished the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore, or the Mickey Bolitar series by Harlan Coben, progress into Jack Graystone Mysteries. This mystery series will consist of four trilogies - the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior trilogies - each of which will generally follow the protagonist's years in high school.
In these exciting young adult books, the teen protagonist, Jack Graystone, grows into a character who is part Sherlock Holmes, part James Bond, and part MacGyver. Each book in this series offers a thrilling story that is believable, yet with an air of fantasy.  In Reilly's Walk, sixteen-year-old Jack Graystone has big plans for his summer vacation. Everything changes, however, when his friend disappears.
While taking his nightly walk, fourteen-year-old Ian Anderson leaves, but only his dog returns. Jack, being the last known person to see him, makes it his mission to solve the mystery of the missing boy. In his quest to find answers, Jack befriends a famous writer of spy and mystery novels who provides him with the tools and knowledge needed to become a great detective. With help from his new mentor and his friends, he puts the pieces together.
Throughout this journey, which will test his brain, body, character, and morals, Jack transforms into a clever and resourceful young sleuth. Each Jack Graystone novel will also include approximately 300 SAT vocabulary words. These words, which are highlighted within the sentence, were developed from several SAT prep sources. The definition of each word is included in both the appendix of the book and on the Jack Graystone Mysteries website.
Regardless of where you start in any of the trilogies, each book will provide a level of excitement and entertainment for readers of any age. If you are looking for a thrilling and exciting book, that is written in a clear and concise tone, then check out Reilly's Walk.
