‘The Kidnapped King’

‘The Kidnapped King” is a mystery novel written by Ron Roy. The story is about 3 kids by the name of Dink Duncan, Josh Pinto and Ruth Rose. One day, after school, Dink received news from his mother that a visitor will be coming for a stay in his house for 2 weeks. The visitor’s name is Sammi Bin Oz and is a prince that will ascend the throne of his father—the king when he comes to the right age. Dink also learnt that Sammi’s parents which the queen and king have been kidnapped by kidnappers and the kidnappers wants to kidnap him too. (I don’t quite understand this part.) So, he comes to Dink’s house for safety.
In the evening, Sammi’s tuition teacher comes over to teach him French language. Dink accompanies him and learnt a French Word ‘Juan’ which means yellow in English. But, Dink pronounces it as Joan like the teacher’s name.
Next morning, when Dink wakes up, he finds out that Sammi’s room has been trespassed; he immediately dials the police number. Then, the three kids begins to help the police solve the mystery. Ruth Rose finds many yellow glass pieces on the ground and immediately jots it down in her note book. By 12 noon, they still cannot solve the mystery. So, they go to Ellie’s kitchen for a bite.
They ordered 3 hamburgers, 3 bottle of fizzy drinks and 3 cups of yellow sundae ice-cream. After finishing the food, they slurped down the ice-cream. Suddenly, Dink thinks of the French word he had learnt last night. Yellow pieces in French are ‘Juan’ and he pronounces it as ‘Joan’ which is the tuition teacher’s name. Is it a key to the clue?
I like this book as it is rather interesting and mysterious. I would recommend it to children of all ages. It has black and white pictures to show us what actually happened. It will be easier for us children as the illustrations are very clear. I hope everyone will enjoy the book.
