Under Radar Swift Young Inventor

Under Radar Swift Young Inventor

Tom and his dad are in the park testing out Tom’s new invisibility suit when of a sudden a van pulls up — and kidnaps Mr. Swift!

Tom is panicked — who would want to abduct his father? A scheme meeting is kept and the FBI is called. But things get tricky when it looks like the kidnapping was an inside operation. Despite the FBI’s insistence that Tom stay out of the investigation, Tom and his sister, Sandy, are determined to find their father — and whoever is responsible for taking him, whether it’s TRB, their rivals at FUG, or even the FBI itself!

One thing is sure — Tom will test the limits of science to save his family.

Good read aloud for my 9 year old son.
By Doctor Who
I was intimate with the original series my own father read, so I got the original of these new titles when they started coming out. My then 8 and now 9 year old son enjoys listening to them as a read aloud. He reads well and might find the reading level a little easy equated to what he reads himself, but it is fun. It strikes me to be a tad on the conservative side: the bad guys are often times an anti-tech “environmentalist” group, and the role of Tom’s sister is only given a heap of credit in this most recent novel.

Probably the last Tom Swift book; it’s that bad
By Thomas E. Hudson
I begun reading the Tom Swift Jr. stories back in 1960 and have gathered each TS book out there starting with the introductory series circa 1910. Unfortunately, that includes this series – a terrible abuse of the name Tom Swift. The stories are ridiculously unimaginative and the writing (I am an author so I do recognise a few things in regards to the writing game) is poor at best. Where other TS series seemed to be aimed at 12-18 year olds, this entire series, and this book, seemed purposed at 8 year olds.

In this story, Tom has a new invisibility suit. His father is kidnapped, so… wait for it… Tom uses the suit to rescue his dad.

The plot line is so thin you may see right through it and the lack of writing skill exhibited is like having an uncomfortably big elephant not just in the room with you, but actually standing on your foot. Grinding down.

It isn’t any wonder that they stopped after just 6 of this series.

There is better fan-written fiction out there than this book and series.

The books in this series are excellent!
By Melanie Audette
This book helps readers understand how persons who have thought they were “enemies” could take a dissimilar perspective and end up working together. As with other books in this series, “it is great,” my son (8) says.
