No one keeps an eye on his beat like GRIFF CARVER. He has
spent half his life patrolling and maintaining law and
order— but for this twelve year old, life isn't all
sunshine and roses monitoring the halls of his middle
school. Griff Carver takes his job very seriously. If an
infraction occurs in his hallways, there will be a hallway
patrolman to enforce the rules and insure the safety of
the school.
Before transferring to Rampart Middle School, GRIFF CARVER
was committed to upholding the laws of the hall monitor —
six long years— at St. Finbar's that is until he
became "the only safety patrol in history to get kicked
out of school."
Even with a reputation that precedes him, Griff is
accepted as part of his new school's, Rampart Middle
School, safety patrol of hall monitors only because of
their dwindling numbers-- Griff gets his badge and a new
partner, Tommy.
Being in the new kid in school has given Griff one
advantage over the rest of the school—he is suspicious of
everyone and isn't easily snowballed. When Griff meets the
school's most beloved student, something about Marcus "The
Smile" Volger just isn't as perfect as he seems. Soon the
safety patrol embarks on an investigation into bogus hall
passes, but his new partner Tommy overhears a suspicious
conversation and begins to wonder which side of the law is
Griff really on.
In his premier fiction novel, Jim Krieg paints a fun and
fast paced action packed tromp through the halls of junior
high in GRIFF CARVER HALLWAY PATROL. Preteens will love
this junior detective adventure. I found this a light and
quick read that had me laughing at times and eager to
solve the mystery. I look forward to reading more from
Krieg and hope he takes this world into a series.
Twelve-year-old Griff Carver knows a thing or two about
fighting crime. Because Griff's not just any kid--he's a kid
with a badge. And if you are a criminal, he's your worst
nightmare.
Griff might be the new kid on the Rampart Jr.
High Patrol squad, but he's no rookie. And he'll do whatever
it takes to clean up the mean hallways of his middle school,
even if it lands him in hot water.
But when Griff links
cool kid Marcus "The Smile" Volger to a counterfeit hall
pass ring, can he and his friends close the case? Or will
Griff let down the force�and lose his badge�for good?
