"My name is Bruce Wayne, and I'm the new kid (UGH) at Ducard Academy. I can't say for certain, but I think something fishy's going on. There's a gang of clowns roaming the halls, a kid named Bane wants to beat me up, and the guidance counselor, Hugo Strange, seems really, well, strange. At least I have two new friends -- Clark and Diana are kinda cool, I guess. We're going to solve this case no matter what, even if I have to convince Alfred to let me stay up past eleven."--Back cover of Volume 1.

I love the Secret Hero Society books, but this third installment just didn't wow me. It retreats a bit from the chat message format if only because the characters end up in one place together for so long. Fewer characters makes it easier to follow, but the plot drags as our friends are stuck in the detention Zone. Alas, hopefully the next one isn't a miss!

Meh. This one was easier to keep track of the characters than the second book since there wasn't as large of a cast of characters. For some reason this story just didn't grab me as much the last one. It seemed like the plot jumped around a few times and the way Alfred saves them in the end didn't make much sense give that at the beginning of the book Bruce gave him very specific instructions so even if Alfred found a note asking him to do something, I feel like he would have followed the advice from the frantic texts that Bruce sent him.
