From School Library Journal Gr 4–6—Edmund Xavier Lonnrot has a photographic memory and amazing art abilities, but in lots of ways he is just an ordinary sixth grader—growing tongue-tied and sweaty-palmed around a crush, playing video games with his best friend, and trying to convince his parents to give him more independence. His remarkable skills come to the attention of the local police, after he witnesses a man fleeing an altercation. Eddie can draw the suspect from memory and he is hired to help with a complicated art-theft case. Now known as "Eddie Red"—the codename he is given—he is eager to help, hoping to earn money to keep attending the school he loves in the wake of his father's recent layoff. Although he assists the police, his realistic sixth-graderness leads to some problems: using an officer's taser just like in the movies, getting really bored during stakeouts, and getting tied up after underestimating the real dangers involved. The plot moves along at a good pace, and though at times it strains belief, most readers won't mind. Eddie's portraits are sprinkled throughout the book, giving it added visual appeal and filling in some of the gaps in character development. "Eddie Red" is bound to be a series that will appeal to fans of fast-paced mysteries who have outgrown David A. Adler's "Cam Jansen" (Viking) books, but are not quite ready for the nuance of Blue Balliett's Chasing Vermeer (Scholastic, 2004).—Gesse Stark-Smith, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
From Booklist Sixth-grader Edmund’s photographic memory and drawing talent have propelled him into service with the NYPD to help solve a series of mysterious art thefts. Nicknamed Eddie Red by the annoyed detective assigned to work with him, Eddie is reminded that he is just a human camera, nothing else. Sitting in art museums drawing vases and watching black-and-white surveillance footage for hours on end is less than glamorous, but Eddie takes his job seriously . . . sometimes too seriously. Debut author Wells creates engaging characters, teen and adult, and the friendship between Eddie and his hyperactive OCD friend, Jonah, is well drawn. Readers will be rooting for Eddie to solve the crime and earn the tuition money he needs to stay enrolled in the private schoolfor gifted children he attends with Jonah. Full-page character sketches, presented as Eddie’s drawings, illustrate the mystery, and a quick art lesson in capturing faces closes the book. This is a strong start to a promising mystery series, and as Eddie would say, it’s über-cool. Grades 4-7. --Cindy Dobrez
Review "A sure pleaser for Cam Jansen grads or anyone fond of knotty, lightweight capers solved with brainpower (and a little luck)."—Kirkus "Eddie Red is bound to be a series that will appeal to fans of fast-paced mysteries" —School Library Journal "This is a strong start to a promising new series, and as Eddie would say, it's uber-cool." —Booklist "In Wells's lighthearted, voice-driven debut novel, first in a planned series, Eddie never truly seems in danger, but his audacity and persistance, a clever mystery that unfolds atmospherically, and Calo's sly pencil portraits result in a fun sleuthing story." —Publishers Weekly

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A Good Read By Hrafnkell Haraldsson My 9-year-old son enjoyed this book, which is about what I expected since it is written for kids 9-12 years old. He said that it is "good" and that while there were some words he had difficulty with, he enjoyed it. I felt it was safe since he has been reading the Harry Potter books as well as books like "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan. Eddie Red Undercover is told in the first person by, you guessed it, Eddie Red (real name: Edmund Lonnrot), who is a precocious (probably an understatement) 11 years old.It is written in an enjoyable style. If you are an adult you won't mind reading it with your kids if you are one of those parents who enjoys doing so. I know our son's school encourages taking turns reading aloud to each other. It is written in the voice of a modern kid, not the kids of my own generation, but if you watch movies and TV or have kids of your own, none of it will seem alien to you. I particularly enjoyed the first page, where Eddie identifies himself to the police with the thoughts, "Worst. Night. Ever." The story grabs you from the get go. Eddie has had something traumatic happen and he is in the police station and you don't know what, and the author isn't giving the game away too soon. So you read to find out what happened and by then you're hooked.But then there are those words your kid might need help with, like "stupor" or "quantum physics" or "idyllic" - words that most third graders don't encounter in their peer groups. But the story is well-written and in a voice a kid can relate to, and it is illustrated to boot with drawings of some of the characters (Eddie can draw anything he has seen), and it has a map right at the beginning. There is even an appendix at the end showing how to draw faces. If you've taken any art classes, this will be familiar to you. So all in all I'd recommend it. I can't give it 5 stars because my son said 4, but as a parent, I'd personally edge toward 5.

A fun book with characters using their brains, not their muscles, to solve problems By Silea It's nice to find a kids' suspense/mystery book where thinking about the problem is what solves it, rather than just running in and hoping for the best.While i thought this book started a little clumsily, it founds its feet pretty quickly. Edmund and his family are hilarious. His best friend adds a whole new layer of amusingly strange. And while the whole premise of the novel - the cops asking a kid with a photographic memory to help on a case - is laughably unlikely, it holds itself together just fine.I'm going to pre-order the next one as soon as it's available.For parents considering this for a child, to my recollection it's 100% free of any sexual content or profanity. There is one running gag about a kid who once wet his pants at school laughing too hard, though the butt of the joke is not the kid who wet his pants, so it's not mocking that. There's a tiny bit of violence, but no serious injuries. Bullying is brought up as a tangent topic, and i assume will be explored more in further volumes.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A Fun Read! By Fran46 I really enjoyed this book even though the book is written for a middle school reader. Eleven year old Edmund (a.k.a. "Eddie Red") is an artistic student with a photographic memory. As an African-American in a private NYC school, he never focuses on his minority status. Unfortunately, Edmund's father has lost his job so his parents break the news to him that they won't be able to afford the tuition to Senate Academy next year. This impending problem serves to motivate Edmund into finding a job to cover next year's expenses....but with the police department! This story line is funny, engaging, and presents positive character traits. Edmund's parents are wholesome; his police job is important, and his interest in art is commendable. There are many humanities-related references that a middle schooler won't mind looking up. So often, fiction for this age group relies on negative images and violence. I honestly can't wait for the second book to be released next year. Teachers and parents....this book is very engaging!
