Editorial Reviews

Review

A sprightly urban caper that mixes high-stakes mystery with warmth, humor, and the magic of discovery.

DiBianca's latest Reen and Joanie Detective Agency tale kicks off with a cryptic note and a string of jewel heists. Reen Penterson, ten, and her nine-year-old cousin, Joanie Finelson, arrive in Manhattan ready for adventure. When they stumble upon clues linking a jewel thief in Central Park to a mysterious message discovered on their flight, the girls know they have to get to the bottom of the case. But carrying out this risky mission is not that easy.

DiBianca has a knack for blending whimsy with suspense. Hamsters, wordplay, and hidden rooms lighten the tone, even when the jewel thief plot raises the stakes. Reen's headlong impulsiveness constantly butts up against Joanie's measured caution. Around them, an eccentric supporting cast—Aunt Miriam with her odd mix of warmth and grandeur, the formidable Mrs. Toussaint, and the precocious Miles—adds texture and wit to the story. Short, cliffhanger chapters and smartly placed clues propel the story forward. Young readers will be drawn in by the playful twists, while parents and educators will appreciate the heart beneath the action. This is a treat. —Prairie Book Reviews

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Delightful Middle Grade Mystery from DiBianca!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Ten-year-old Reen and her nine-year-old cousin, Joanie, are the two members of the R&J Detective Agency. They are flying to New York City with Mrs. Toussaint, Reen’s nanny, on a week-long summer vacation. A jewel-thief mystery that the girls get involved in starts before they even land.

    Reen and Joanie get to stay in a fancy, high-rise apartment building. They also get to explore the tourist attractions of the city, and we as readers get to explore alongside the girls … the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and more. (So interesting!)

    As the girls figure out clues (things like homonyms and other word puzzles), the reader is given a chance to figure them out too. Along the way, they meet Miles. Miles is only seven, but he’s a genius, and he knows the layout of each of the enormous New York City museums which may be useful in catching the jewel thieves. Ugh, but his grandmother is a difficult person.

    Even though Reen’s father is not in this book like he was in the first one, his fatherly comfort follows Reen to New York City. When Reen is worried or upset, she remembers the Biblical wisdom her father taught her.

    Overall, Knights in Manhattan is another delightful Middle Grade Christian mystery story from DiBianca. I loved it!

    A fun adventure is waiting for all in this story. I enjoyed all the excitement that Reen and Joanie have when they travel to the big city. The beginning was pretty funny on the airplane. It is not easy to tell a young child to stay still on a plane. A clue is found in the bathroom that starts an exciting mystery for our young detectives.

    The characters in the story are inquisitive and eager to solve the mystery. The author gives readers clues to help follow the steps as Reen and Joanie take on their next case. Being in New York can be overwhelming but these kids are ready to take on whatever awaits them. I liked the faith element in the story as well as how the author delivers a map so to speak that leads our two young detectives into a few laughs, lessons that are valuable for everyone and working together.

    I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

    Knights in Manhattan is a wonderful book for middle school students that you are not going to want to miss! The whole series is amazing! I mean, I’m well past middle school age, and I enjoyed reading this one! We also used it as a read-aloud in our homeschool. All of my children loved listening to it. The toddler, at not quite two, did not sit through the reading, but he did interact over some of the paragraphs, so I know he was listening.

    I would say, in my opinion, that the ideal age for reading this on their own would be somewhere from 9-14. Now, that said, they can read it earlier if they’re a fluent reader, and they can definitely read it at an older age. As I said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book myself.

    The characters are great. They’re fun, they’re quirky, they’re relatable, and they’re just so cute, plus amazing at solving mysteries! The plot moves along quickly. It’s well laid out and keeps you needing to read to find out what is going to happen.

    Highly recommend. All the stars given. Will read again. And we cannot wait to read more books within this series (hint, hint to the author). I will say that I have loved her for adult novels as well, and had to giggle when I realised that I’d met these cute little girls before!

    I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review, nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

    Reen and Joanie are a hoot! I enjoyed the first book in the series, Another Side of Sunshine, and this one is even better. These two aspiring Nancy Drews not only find trouble, they chase it. A scene with runaway hamsters had me laughing out loud.
    The New York setting, clever twists, and spirited characters make this book a lively read for middle graders especially but also a delight for adults. Highly recommended.
    I received an advance copy and am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Knights in Manhattan: A Reen & Joanie Detective Agency Mystery by Kay DiBianca is a Middle Grades Mystery. This second book in the Reen and Joanie Detective Agency will engage and educate young readers. Reen and Joanie fly to Manhattan to visit Reen’s great aunts.

    The characters are interesting, the storylines take you through twists and turns. while yo could read this book on its own, I recommend reading these books in order so you get to know Reen and Joanie

    As a former homeschooling mother, I believe this series provides an excellent mix for young people.

    So if you are looking for a middle-grade mystery, check out Knights in Manhattan: A Reen & Joanie Detective Agency Mystery by Kay DiBianca.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.
