Summary: Up until a few days ago, nothing extraordinary had ever happened in ten year old Josh Wunderkind’s life – except eating a whole pot of pasta by himself. But that all changed after a mammoth-sized bird hit him smack on the face with a glob of neon green bird poop, triggering his superhuman Wunderkind ability and leaving him with the responsibility of caring for a baby bird he named Max. Now Josh was just like his older brother and twin sister Madison-super extraordinary! But what Josh didn’t realize was that being superhuman wasn’t all fun and games.
And things only got more complex in Josh’s life when his two siblings and a couple neighborhood friends persuade him to lead a super crime-solving, neighborhood news team—the Gumshoe News Crew. But not before they agree on the Super Secret and complete Gumshoe Boot Camp.
Find out what the Super Secret is. Will the Gumshoe News Crew complete boot camp? Or will Josh let his team down?

Review:
Josh Wunderkind thinks that unlike his brother and twin sister, that he is an ordinary ten-year old. That is until a bird poops on his head and a baby raptor adopts him as its mother.
Josh’s superpowers begin to emerge, but they are uncontrolled and untrained. The three siblings along with two friends set out for Josh to learn control.
Through his older brother’s Boot Camp and the establishment of the Gumshoe News Crew, the group experiences several adventures and solves a mystery or two along the way. They learn about their individual strengths and when to rely on others and working together to solve dilemmas.
Ms. Moraja leads the reader on a series of adventures in which the reader will learn about accepting themselves for who they are and turning to others when you need help. Readers will be led on an exciting adventure as Josh and the Gumshoe News Crew learn how to control their powers and solve mysteries. This book is a fun read that will keep the readers hoping that Josh and his crew can solve the cases without too much trouble.
This reviewer believes Josh and the Gumshoe News Crew is definitely worth the read for the read-to-me group through the young readers. (Christina Weigand)
