Opinion

I think it was a funny book, there happened a lot of crazy things. But the story was also a bit simple, because the case that Sean and Melissa (the main characters) had to solve, was very easy. I knew the solution already in the middle of the story.

Summary

The story is about Sean and Melissa, they live in Midvale. They are a kind of detectives, named Bloodhounds.

Sean gets a strange message of a robbery, there is money stolen from a cash register of the Midvale Comedy Club while the owner, Sam Maxwell there was also.

There have come two hypnotizers to Midvale, named Larry and Zomar. Sean and Melissa visit a show (it’s in the Comedy Club). Some people are hypnotized, but they don’t see anything strange. After the show, there is money stolen again. Nobody knows how. Sean and Melissa will check it out.

At school, Melissa sits next Spalding in the break. (Spalding was hypnotized in the show.) He eats dog food. When Spalding picks a tissue, Melissa sees that he has much money in his pocket. In mathematics, Mrs. Appelwhite (she was also hypnotized) thinks she is a ballerina, and also Mrs. Appelwhite has a lot of money in her bag. But why? Sean and Melissa see a link between hypnosis and the money. They take Herbie (who was hypnotized) to their fathers office. When they are there, there is suddenly money missing. More and more people who have been to Larry and Zomar are doing strange, and there are also many robberies. Sean gets a plan. A friend, Doc, invented a ‘thinking cap’, and Sean wanted to use it, so Melissa and he can’t be hypnotized. Melissa agrees, and they go to the hypnotizers. But the thinking cap of Sean is not good, so he is really hypnotized. Melissa hears that they have to rob the bank. On the evening of the robbery, Sean and Melissa are there also. Melissa tries to break the hypnoses, but Larry tries the opposite. Finally, Melissa wins and everyone’s hypnoses are broken.
