Critic Reviews:
"Full of action....paced like a Hollywood thriller...Recommended for students who have worn out their copies of Lemony Snicket's books and [The] Spiderwick Chronicles." (School Library Journal)

Can't get the whole series in English
I like the series, but there are only 4 books in the series translated to English. It is a bit slow to get going, and the stories are broken up a bit much, but overall a good read.
My kids' (ages 9 and 11) FAVORITE series
My kids are in love with Harry Potter, with Percy Jackson...and with Ulysses Moore. They were crushed to find that there were only four books in the series and want to write to beg the author to write more books in the series. :) They have shared the series with teachers, friends, family... there would be difficulty in matching their enthusiasm when it comes to the Ulysses Moore series. Well written! I bought this series for my son because he loves science fiction/fantasy books, and it is hard to find them for kids his age. We went on the Scholastic teachers Reading Wizard, plugged in his reading level and "fantasy" and this is one of the series that came up. We are forever grateful to the Reading Wizard for introducing my kids to Ulysses Moore. I believe it will be a lifelong friendship. My son has already sworn to save this series to share with HIS kids.
Clocks and mirrors
The third book in the Ulysses Moore series doesn't allow for any breathing space after the end ofLong-lost Map. Jason, Julia and Rick continue to hunt for clues and artifacts that will hopefully reveal the secrets of the Doors to Time, but as they will discover, there are more secrets in Kilmore Cove than they could ever have imagined.
Given some extra time when their parents are delayed by the moving company, Jason and Julia put aside their sibling squabbles for the moment and together with their friend Rick, they set off on the trail of Oblivia Newton, the femme fatale who seems to at the root of all their troubles.
Their quest leads them to the Mirror House, an amazing feat of engineering involving solar panels, mirrors (naturally), lots of doodads and whatnots, and somewhere deep inside, a secret that Oblivia is prepared to move anyone or anything in her path to uncover.
The inventor of the house and aforementioned doodads and whatnots had disappeared some time before our story begins, and the young adventurers are faced with solving the mechanical puzzles that he left behind.
Packed with lots of action, intrigue and challenges, this is suitable for readers from 8 to about 12, but I would recommend readingbook oneand two before attempting this one.
