Lincoln Baker is back to being a regular kid when he
gets the call from Pandora that his assistance is needed again. Looking like a
junior detective can come in handy when people want to keep a secret.
Unfortunately, Linc looks like his nemesis, Benjamin Green, and both recently
finished working on an undercover mission in Paris. It seems they are both
needed again because there has been a threat on the President of United States and her family. Someone named Dagger has sent a message that they will bomb the
White House during an upcoming special event. What makes the situation even
worse is that they may be wearing a special coat once worn by George
Washington, and the coat is believed to have protective powers. Linc and Ben
need to help find this allusive coat before the villain, but time is ticking. When
the President's daughter, Amy, decides to follow along with Linc is he putting
her life in danger? Do Ben and Linc have what it takes to solve the case? Will
their competitiveness work against them? How will they piece together the clues, and who can they trust in a city filled with so many people? This action-packed adventure will have your
heart racing!
Although I did not read the first book in the Double Vision series I had no
problem following along with Double
Vision: Code Name 711 by F.T. Bradley. Linc was a character I could relate
to right away. He was humorous and
smarter than he knew. It was fun going along on a secret case and thinking
about what I would do in each situation. Sometimes I agreed with Linc, and
sometimes I didn't. This book is filled with spies, moles, villains, and
heroes. There are also some pretty cool gadgets, thanks to a character named Henry.
I would love to try some of them out! This book made me think about how hard it
would be to be a child in the White House and all the restrictions you would have
on you. It was clear that Amy really needed some attention from her mom, and she wanted friends
and excitement. I would recommend this book to anyone in third grade and up who
likes suspense, adventure, and secret codes. I look forward to the next Double
Vision book and finding out if Lincoln and Ben ever become friends.
Has anyone else read Double Vision: Code Name 711?
Or have you ever read another book by FT Bradley? We would love to hear
your thoughts.
Happy Reading!

DeleteI think I should read this if you didn't read the first book, but could dive right into the second. Sequel writing is a challenge and it seems this writer got it done real "good."
ReplyDeleteLee- F.T. did an excellent job with the sequel. I agree with you that reading the first book first before this one is still probably best, even though they can be read out of order. When I can- I prefer to read books in order. :) ~L
