Tagged for lacking sources since 2010. Not clear the subject meets WP:GNG. 4meter4 (talk) 01:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * 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. Oaktree b (talk) 01:28, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Notability (books) 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." Sources   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 Book Review Index verifies the publication details of the review. 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." <li> The review notes: "In this fast-paced volume, Amy and Dan are drawn to Russia when they receive a mysterious telegram with a challenge from someone called "N.R.R.""</li> <li> 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!"</li></ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Black Circle to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
