The Black Circle: Not clear the subject meets WP:GNG .  4meter4 ( talk ) 01:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : I wouldn't consider Al's Book Club as a quality review (Al Roker was OG cool though), but that's all the coverage I can find.  Nothing on Common Sense Media, which seemed the most likely place to look first.

Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says: A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources , at least one of the following criteria: The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.  This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews.  This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy , or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

The review notes: "David Pittu does an admirable job of narrating, giving each character a distinctive voice; listeners may find the chronic raspy quality of Dan's voice wearing by the end of the story. The exaggerated voicing of the bonus material at the end of the story is reminiscent of old time radio shows." "The Black Circle" .  The Horn Book Magazine .  Vol.  21, no. 1.  Spring 2010.  p. 64.

The review notes: "The series still pushes credulity past the tipping point, but these installments introduce new developments (heretofore cartoonish competitors reveal hints of humanity; the sibs' stalwart nanny becomes suspicious; clues to their parents' death surface) that rejuvenate the foundering plots."

The review notes: "The temptation to find out what really happened the night their parents died may prove too strong to resist.  Full of danger and intrigue - a great game of cat and mouse!"
