Edmund Lonnrot is a normal 11 year old kid. Well, except for his photographic memory and his amazing drawing abilities. One day his father tells him that he was losing hours at work, making them unable to afford Edmund's school. That all changes when the police come to Edmund with unusual request. Work for them and they would pay for Edmund's school next year. You see the police have been unable to solve a crime because the suspects keep changing the way they look. Eddie's job? Go to the art museum and draw anyone suspicious. If they're able to catch the thieves the NYPD will pay for Eddie's education next year. I liked this book because it was so fast paced. I didn't like the way the adults acted in this book and the twists were kind of predictable. But, I think fans of mysteries and Theodore Boone will absolutely love Eddie Red: Mystery on Museum Mile!

This is a fast moving, exciting mystery I would recommend. Edmund Lonnrot is just an average kid. Okay, well...maybe not. He is just an average kid. With a photographic memory. And a talent for drawing anything he sees, even just once. When Edmund gets to work for the police force, will a criminal mastermind stump him? Of course not! It may take a military-loving best friend and a few rules broken, but nothing stops Eddie Red.

Edmund Xavier Lannrot A.K.A. Eddie Red has a photographic memory. One day when his father tells him that he can't pay for Senate acadamy, Eddie's current school, he hears shouting from an alley and quickly calles 9-9-1 before he gets a quick look at the thief. Eddie and his dad are questioned to see the suspect but Eddie shows his skills and gets a lot of approval from the chief and gets offered a job to help pay for Senate next year. After passing a few tests Eddie gets the job. While on the job gets paranoid but it's a false alarm. I would recommand this book for anyone for all ages.
