Warren the 13th is a 12 year old (old-fashioned) bellhop/valet/waiter/groundskeeper/errand boy. His family has owned the Warren Hotel for generations-even though he's an orphan. Unfortunately for Warren, ever since his guardian/uncle married an evil woman-his new Aunt Anaconda. Aunt Anaconda completely took over the hotel, and is constantly searching for the treasure she believes to be hidden on the hotel grounds-the All-Seeing Eye. Even with all his misfortunes, Warren is dedicated to his hotel, ever curious, loyal and optimistic. Warren wants to preserve his family's legacy, and he HAS to find the treasure first, before it's too late. And as it turns out, Anaconda isn't alone in her search. When others join her, chaos reigns. This is a great read for middle grade. One thing I enjoyed was the very unique and different illustrations. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye was about a boy named Warren, living in a dark, dusty old hotel. Warren loved the hotel until his aunt Anaconda took over. Ever since, Warren has been working very hard. Chores, chores, and more chores to do around the hotel. And in the kitchen all he gets for breakfast, supper, dinner, and dessert is porridge. His aunt and uncle get all the good food. They won't allow Warren to eat what they eat, and say porridge is an appropriate food for a growing boy. But sometimes the cook gives Warren something without his uncle and aunt watching. His aunt Anaconda is after the All-Seeing Eye. But Warren needs it to continue his family legacy. This book was mysterious, and full of adventure. I rate it 5/5 and recommend it to mystery readers.
This was a great read, and I definitely recommend it to people who like a tad bit of mystery and a bit of action. Warren is a descendent of many Warrens, and as you can tell by the title, he is the 13th in his line. He is currently living with his Uncle in a hotel, and his uncle is about to marry a wife, Warren's aunt. She seems to be good at first, but after Warren's uncle leaves, she's not as she seems. Warren's family has a hidden treasure and Warren and his aunt are both on the look for it. But when things get a bit too harsh with Warren and his aunt, Warren sets out to find the treasure by himself. But what will happen to Warren? Read this nail-biting novel to find out! I would like to thank DOGObooks for supplying this book in exchange for this review.
