"First published in 1929, this is an exciting story about a boy who loses some money and, along with a group of new friends, manages to corner the thief." (Michael Rosen S Magazine, Sunday Express)
"Emil is a wonder... the book had, and still has, the effect of making me feel part of Emil's little gang of boys... Emil and the Detectives is a little masterpiece... Read it and you will be happy" (Maurice Sendak)
"The main pleasure of the book is in the way in which it plays to the fantasy of omnipotence in a child: that a team of kids could really organise themselves into a team of detectives and catch a thief" (Michael Rosen Guardian)
"The perfect introduction to the world of fictional crime detection" (Independent)
