When Ted and Kat watched their cousin Salim get on board the London Eye, he turned and waved before getting on. After half an hour it landed and everyone trooped off - but no Salim. Where could he have gone? How on earth could he have disappeared into thin air?

Since the police are having no luck finding him, Ted and Kat become sleuthing partners. Despite their prickly relationship, they overcome their differences to follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their cousin. And ultimately it comes down to Ted, whose brain works in its own very unique way, to find the key to the mystery.

This is an unputdownable spine-tingling thriller!

Recensione

Starred review, Publishers Weekly, December 3, 2007:
"Grabs readers from the beginning and doesn't let go."

Starred review, Booklist, January 1, 2008:
“Everything rings true here, the family relationships, the quirky connections of
Ted’s mental circuitry, and, perhaps most surprisingly, the mystery.”

Starred review, Kirkus Reviews, December 15, 2007:
“This is a well-constructed puzzle, and mystery lovers will delight in connecting the clues.”

Starred review, School Library Journal, February 2008:
“A dense mystery tied together with fully fleshed out characters and a unique narrator.”

Starred review, The Horn Book, May/June 2008:
“The best mysteries have at their centers gifted but very human sleuths—their abilities balanced by equally significant flaws or idiosyncrasies. This one is no exception.” --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione fuori stampa o non disponibile di questo titolo.

Il punto di vista....fa la differenza

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 31 ottobre 2017

Acquisto verificato

Semplice trama ...per un non semplice romanzo. Dowd ci offre un punto di osservazione inusuale per la vicenda drammatica che anima il suo testo: la scomparsa al London Eye del cugino del protagonista, un bambino con disturbi dello spettro autistico.
E sarà grazie a lui ed alla sua particolare modalità di pensiero che il cugino verrà ritrovato.
Un elogio della diversità? Assolutamente no.
Piuttosto un forte incoraggiamento al sapersi aprire verso quelle persone che non sono esattamente come ci aspettiamo che siano. E che percepiamo come chiuse.
Ma siamo noi a dover aprire gli occhi!
Grazie Siobhan, per questo e per gli altri tuoi libri...sei mancata troppo presto.

Good young adult and middle grade mysteries are sometimes hard to come by. THE LONDON EYE MYSTERY by Siobhan Dowd is one you won't want to miss.

It all starts when Ted's cousin, Salim, comes to visit. Salim and his mother are about to move to New York City and have planned a family visit in London before their departure. Of course, what is a visit to London without a ride on the London Eye? That's when the trouble begins.

Ted and his older sister, Kat, haven't seen much of their cousin in the past. The visit starts out on a wrong note because of the unusual sleeping arrangements required by their tiny house. Kat is unhappy about bunking on the couch, and Ted is unhappy with the disruption of his whole routine. As Ted explains, he suffers from a "syndrome," which he defines by stating that his brain runs on "a different operating system" than everyone else. His judgment of other people's emotional responses is a bit off, and his views of the world around him tend to be quite literal. (I'm guessing that he suffers from some form of autism.)

Salim turns out to be quite a pleasant visitor. His only request is to take a ride on the London Eye, a massive ferris wheel attraction in the center of London. When the cousins and their mothers arrive at the Eye, they find the ticket line and actual ride line disappointingly long. Relief comes when a stranger offers one ticket, free of charge, to Salim. Ted and Kat eagerly accept the ticket and pocket the original ticket money from their mother as they rush Salim to the waiting ride.

The mystery begins when Salim doesn't disembark from the London Eye at the conclusion of his ride. Ted and Kat have as many as nine different theories. Was he kidnapped? Did he actually go on the ride at all? How could he have vanished so completely?

Quirky characters, London scenery, and a who-dun-it style combine to make this a sure hit. The late Siobhan Dowd, author of A SWIFT PURE CRY, outdid herself once again.

Thought provoking adventure for all

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 7 aprile 2018

Acquisto verificato

I recently discovered the books of Siobhan Dowd, sadly after she died. Written as a young adult adventure, “The London Eye Mystery” is exactly the sort of book to buy for a school Library or classroom.

Written in the words of Ted, who lives with his parents and elder sister Kat in London, it describes the mysterious disappearance of his cousin Salim from a capsule on the London Eye and how he and Kat try to find him. Ted’s approach is unusual, because he has Asperger’s syndrome and he has a particular knowledge and interest in meteorology. Thus, he works logically through all possibilities, even the absurd, such as spontaneous combustion, using climatic vocabulary, for instance The Eye of the Hurricane and The Coriolis Effect, to analyse events.

Ted and Kat put their sibling rivalry aside to find their cousin. Kat tells Ted that he is genius and he learns that she is able to read body language which he does not understand. Ted’s navigation of the underground and his experience of the crowded Earl’s Court exhibition centre, highlight the fears such places can induce for many people but how feelings can be overcome when it really matters. A great book for 10 or 11-year-olds but I really enjoyed it too.

Review written by my 9 year old daughter:

I really enjoyed this book because it had an excellent plot and mystery. I liked how it built up the suspense really well until it seemed like the mystery would not be solved. I also enjoyed how it is written in the first person, as it tells you a lot about how the main character is feeling at different points in the book. The writing is very descriptive and suspense-filled, this makes it a really exciting read and keeps you wanting for more.

Interesting book

The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd is a book about a boy and his sister who try and find their cousin, who has mysteriously vanished from the London Eye.
I enjoyed this book; it was recommended to me by a previous teacher. I decided to try reading it as it sounded really interesting. And I'm totally glad I did!
In the story, Ted's and Kat's cousin Salim wants to ride on the Eye, so they let him go in on his own. Ted and Kat track the wheel almost all the time, which, according to Ted, leaves a 2% margin for error. But what's most strange is that while what goes up, must come down, Salim does not seem to leave the Eye. After that, the police are called in, to investigate what has happened. Even they are stumped, and Kat and Ted decide to take matters into their own hands. Ted makes up a list of theories; whether obviously fantasy or real. Ted and Kat begin to investigate, and come to the conclusion that Salim either never got on... or was taken.
The ending is a bit cliche, but brilliant and very well thought out. I think you can guess the ending!
What I loved is that Ted is autistic, and it changed the perspective quite a lot. If it was from Kat's perspective, it would be very different, as Kat does not have autism e.t.c, and Kat is an extremely different person to Ted.
The negatives are a cliche ending: however, like I said, this was a well-written ending and deserves a lot of praise. I can imagine, however, a bone-chilling end to the story- it's in my head! Also, maybe there could be a little less arguing in the story, and a bit less sleeping and talking, although those parts where the bits where Ted figured out it in parts, and even though Ted's clue-finding actually lead to nothing, it was interesting how the story played out.
So if you like quirky, unusual stories, set in a real-life environment (and even if you don't) I would encourage you to give this book a try, maybe have a look at the free sample. Once you start, you will be hooked- honest! 😁😁

This was a really great book! I had to read this in parts becuse my kindle ran out of battery so I had to have a look a the bits tht I had already read again. Anyway, the book: Ted's cousion Salim and Ted's Aunt Gloria(Salim's Mum!) Have come to stay for a few days because they are moving to New York and they are flying out of London. On their first day they dicide to visit The London Eye. A man in the que gives them a free ticket for Salim and Salim takes it and goes into it Kat(Ted's older sister) and Ted trach the compartment as it goes arpumd the eye but when it reaches the bottom Salim dosen't come out of it! Ted and Kat work together to solve this mystery. Kat and Ted worked together to aolve it but in the end becuse Ted's brain works differently to other people it finally solves The London Eye Mystery!

Neat mystery

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 26 gennaio 2021

Acquisto verificato

Really well drawn characters, particularly the narrator, Ted. Ted thinks differently to other children and his attention to detail and logical approach makes him the perfect detective.
The mystery itself was neat, if a little predictable (for me as an adult - my 10 year old didn’t guess the solution).
An east and enjoyable read.
I recommend the second book in the series - written by Robin Stevens - which is a perfect follow up mystery, set in New York.
