The Dirt Bike Detective by Douglas L. Hoover is a fictional young
adult mystery novel. The Dirt Bike Detective by Douglas L. Hoover is a novel
that will appeal most to an audience of young adults who enjoy a good
paranormal mystery book. The Dirt Bike Detective by Douglas L. Hoover follows
the perspective of twelve year old Oliver as he works with some of his friends
and the new kid to retrieve his grandfather’s pocket watch which was
confiscated at Raven Ridge Academy.
Oliver, Chase (the new kid), and a group of friends assemble to get the
watch back, but they quickly tumble into more trouble than they ever expected
as they are forced to deal with zombies, aliens, ghosts, and even secret
agents. Will they ever get Oliver’s grandfather’s pocket watch back?
Mover
over Scooby Do, Sherlock, and Watson and make room for Oliver, Chase, and friends
as they so you how a real paranormal mystery is solved. I have to say I was originally
skeptical about whether or not Douglas L. Hoover could combine so many
different paranormal elements in one book while still having a good plot line
and character development, but Douglas L. Hoover really pulled it off. Douglas
L. Hoover keeps all of the dialogue realistic for the ages of the children and
other characters. I liked how the characters actually acted their own age none
of the children acted like adults; instead they all acted like the children
that they actually were. The plot line moves at a steady pace for the entire
novel and there are a few twists and turns that kept me interested.
