| Mini Mysteries:20 Tricky Tales - mystery book review |
Rick Walton
Pleasant Company Publications
2004
Available: Paperback
This is a book that is exactly what
the title suggests, a book of 20 mini mysteries for the reader to solve, using
logic and their powers of observations. The same main characters appear in the
stories, so even though each story is a mystery unto itself, the book had a
feeling of continuity. Marie and her best friend, Noelle, have to figure
out which clues will help solve the mystery and which ones are red herrings
that lead the reader in the wrong direction. Once the reader thinks they've
solved the mystery, they can check the case folder in the back of the book to
see if they're right.
Kids who love to solve
puzzles, uncover clues, and crack cases will have fun with this book. All of
the characters in the stories are girls, which sadly means that some boys won't
want to read the book.
Target audience: grades 3 - 7
Mystery /suspense: Fun
Kid appeal: High
