Product Description
'All for one, one for all.' That's the motto Julian, Huey and Gloria decide on when they form the Crimebusters to track down wanted criminals. Soon they've decided on a secret alert and an escape code too. All they need now is their first crook. But although they do find a few things to get involved in, it seems as if all the criminals are staying away. Nobody even tries to rob the bank (they check about twenty times, just to make sure). Then they meet the Wizard...

This book is about three children called Gloria, Huey and Julian, who were in the Post Office entrance waiting for the rain to stop, when Gloria saw some wanted posters on a hook. They decide to become CRIME BUSTERS and collect the reward money. They save a dog trapped in a car in the hot weather, and they save a baby from drowning in a fountain. They made a big mistake thinking the Food Wizard was Eugene George Johnson, a most wanted criminal but in the end they find out the Food Wizard is..... you will have to read the book to find out more. I loved this book, it was exciting and interesting with Julian and his friends having adventures and getting into trouble. By James aged 9
Format:Paperback
I've used this book with Year 3 or 4 children over the past 20 years and it doesn't fail to capture their imagination. Nt only have I used it in guided reading I also used it as the main stay of a cross curricular topic.

Begging for More
18 Oct 2000
Format:School & Library Binding
My third grade class and I are completing our unit on Realistic Fiction books. I chose Julian Secret Agent because my students loved Julian's Glorious Summer. The children enjoyed this book for so many reasons. The vocabulary used was contemporary and that made the story easier for the children to understand. As a result of their ease with comprehension the children began to participate in class discussions with a great deal of enthusiasm. The short chapters also helped to make the children feel comfortable with reading and that gave them the encouragement to want to read further. Additonally, the children enjoyed the illustrations because they were so closely aligned with the text that they couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Lastly,the children were able to appreciate the humor in the book because it was written at their level. I found that reading this book with my students made teaching reading an absolute joy. My class and I highly recommend reading this book because you will beg for more.

You'll want to read more Julian stories!

Format:Paperback
Three young kids--Julian, his little brother Huey, and best friend Gloria, look through the Most-Wanted posters at the post office. They decide they'd like to investigate crimes and criminals. Later, in a parking lot, they see a dog locked in a hot car. A passerby says, "That's a crime!" and they know their calling has begun. Afterwards, they rescue a lost toddler from playing too near a water fountain. This story is too funny because the kids are so innocent: they go to a bar to look for crime, and are spotted by someone who knows their dad. Oh, boy, are they in trouble now! Next, a young man working in a fast food shop matches the description on a Most Wanted poster. They go to the police chief, who in turn, asks them for help in identifying this possible criminal, who turns out to be the chief's son! This delightful story is well-written, realistic and interesting, and depicts characters still in the wonderful freshness of youth. A beginning chapter book for hungry early readers, Diane Allison's illustrations help depict the African-American neighborhood, such as a scene in the park under the MLK statue.
