| Grade 5-8–Ananka Fishbein, a seventh grader at an expensive New York City school, likens her life to flavorless mush. But when she wakes up one Saturday morning and finds that the small park across the street has become a sinkhole, her decision to explore it transforms her existence. She meets the mysterious Kiki Strike, and subsequently the group of girls (each with a particular talent) who call themselves the Irregulars, and they embark on an adventure that involves exploring the Shadow City, a series of tunnels under Manhattan. The identity of Kiki, along with the motives of the mysterious individuals the Irregulars suspect are planning to attack the city, are the mysteries at the heart of the story. Miller pulls readers in immediately and takes them on a series of twists and turns, culminating in a thrilling climax complete with international politics and intrigue. If a 12-year-old can be a hard-boiled detective, Ananka Fishbein is one. Her narration is fresh and funny, and the author's unadorned, economical, yet descriptive style carries her character through with verve. There are deft portrayals, with personalities artfully revealed through dialogue. The chapter endings are punctuated with selections from Ananka's guidebook on essential skills. Often placed so as to advance the story, they include How to take advantage of being a girl. Kiki Strike celebrates the courage and daring of seemingly ordinary girls, and it will thrill those who long for adventure and excitement while they impatiently await the next installment.–Sue Giffard, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York City

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I think this book is wonderful. The appeal of the story and the characters goes far beyond the age level of the target audience. The author creates very interesting complex characters and puts them into a wonderful world of reality mixed with crime and fantasy. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Harry Potter series but doesn't like the fact that the characters deal in magic. Kiki, Ananka and the other "Irregulars" deal with science and technology while fighting foes and "mean girls." This is a wonderful story I am sure everyone can enjoy. I hope this is just the beginning of the adventures the girls will share with us. |
