From Kirkus Reviews:
Clark returns--with Sarah and his best friend Frog--for another ``Sarah Capshaw Mystery.'' When the three come across a Frankenstein robot in a barn, the discovery that it belongs to a toy inventor initially squashes Sarah's hopes for a monstrously good mystery. Then the friends find themselves in the middle of industrial espionage, with one toy manufacturer seeking information about the inventor's next creation in order to cash in on its potential. The kids' efforts run parallel to a private investigator's; this ``case'' probably would have been solved without Sarah's work and enthusiasm. Still, perhaps mystery fans are never too young to learn about the world of corporate dirty tricks, and the plotting, if without much panache, is sturdy. Periodic b&w drawings show the sleuths in action and root the high-stakes intrigue in a more homespun reality. (Fiction. (9-11) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-5-- Amateur detective Sarah Capshaw and her friends Clark Lannigan and Frog Fenniman are back in action in a second book ( One Ghost Too Many Cobblehill, 1991). This time the trio investigates rumors about a mad scientist who has created a monster out at the old Harley farm. The suspected villain turns out to be a toy inventor and the monster his latest creation, but someone is trying to steal his idea and the kids are determined to find the culprit. None of the characters is fully developed, but the fast pace and light humor will keep readers turning the pages, making this an adequate selection where easy-to-read mysteries are in demand. --Jeanette Larson, Texas State Library, Austin Grades 3-6
