Like I have said for the other books in this series that I
have already reviewed: dated artwork, just enough dated language to be
jarring, and a boatload of characters –so this book (series) could be a hard
sell for its target audience of younger readers to choose and read on their own.
A teacher read-a-loud could get students liking this wholesome and sweet mystery solving series and you may have
requests after that.
