Secret Agent Jack Stalwart: The Pursuit of The Ivory Poachers

BOOK NAME: Secret Agent Jack Stalwart: The Pursuit of The Ivory Poachers
AUTHOR: Elizabeth Singer Hunt

Jack is a 9-year-old secret agent who lives in England and works for the Global Protection Force. He has a small globe named Whizzy that tells him where to go on each adventure. In this book, which is the sixth in a series, Whizzy tells Jack that he's needed in the country of Kenya, which is in Africa. Jack goes there and meets Chief Abasi, who show him how people are shooting and killing elephants for their ivory tusks and skins. Jack finds these people, who are called poachers, and uses transformer dust to turn them into different endangered animals, like elephants and rhinoceros. The dust only lasts for an hour, but Jack wanted them to know what it was like to be hunted. When they turned back into people, they were hauled off by the police.

I think Jack Stalwart is really cool because of all the magic gear he gets to use as a secret agent, such as his watch phone, his special backpack, his transformer dust and Whizzy. I also liked all the action in this book. I want to read some of the other books about Jack and I would suggest reading this one, if you haven't read a Jack Stalwart book yet.

This book sounds exciting. I like books about exciting adventures. I guess you do, too.

This book interesting.Adventure books are mostly awesome.

At first, I thought I might be a little too old for this book, but then I realized it looked really good. I really like secret agent books and adventure books. Hey, is this a graphic novel? The front cover looks like it is.

Is this like some action-ey comic book thingy? If so I'm interested. If not, put the book in the attic (I mean I'd rather not read it!) - ddancergirl97

i've read all of the jack stalwart (how do you sign up for gloval protection force)
