For 2nd-4th graders, I think the A to Z Mysteries series, specifically The Deadly Dungeon, is engaging. The chapters are fairly short, and there are some illustrations sprinkled throughout. Both the illustrations and the writing are very descriptive, and help paint a detailed picture of the scenes and what transpires throughout the story. In this story, Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are visiting an author that they befriended earlier in the series. The author lives in a castle that she believes is h

I had never read an A to Z Mystery, and I'm trying to sample all of the major kids' mystery series. This series is just right for the after Junie B. Jones set--just a little harder, but the chapters are fairly short and there are still some pictures. Three friends, Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose, are visiting an author that they saved in one of the previous books in the series. The author lives in a castle that is believed to be haunted, and there are strange sounding shrieks from time to time, bu

I liked this book because Ron Roy was very descriptive in his writing and illustrations. The setting was great being out in a castle on the beach to visit Wallis Wallice during their summer break. The problems the characters solve are exciting and keep you interested. The twist at the end was really interesting. It was a good summer book because Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose were on summer break, just like me.

Wallis Wallace, Dink’s favorite author, invites him, Josh, and Ruth Rose to spend the weekend at her creepy old house, which has its own real ghost! When the kids find a secret dungeon underneath the house, they start to think that maybe something else is haunting the house other than a ghost.
This story was actually pretty boring. Plus, what parent would let their kid stay overnight at some author’s house???

This is an exciting mystery as Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose explore a castle in Maine. Is there a ghost? They even get to go lobstering on Wallis Wallace's brother's boat. This was not our favorite story of the series so far, but it was exciting and fun to read. We are looking forward to the next book in the series, "The Empty Envelope."

Ruth Rose,Dink,Jose went to a sleepover in a castle in Dinks favorite writers house.when the 3 kids got there they heard screams behind the walls.Wallis says that every castle is haunted but dink is not very sure about that.I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries .Read the book to find out if the kids would be able to find who or what is haunting the Moose Manor?

This is short story. The main character likes to write about mystery things. Someday, he went to the castle with his friends. The castle was mysterious. My favorite part is when they found the door under the castle.

This was the first book that I ever loved to read and re-read. My copy is incredibly beat up and my name is written on it in pink highlighter.

This was a easy book but it was good. It was about 3 kids caught a person diobeying the law by stealing parrots. At first they thought is was a ghost but the changed there mind once they saw clues.

Four stars because it was long. The cave had a secret entryway to the dungeon and I thought that was cool.

I probably would have given this three stars, but my sons loved it and it was for them that we read it. In a castle built by a now-dead movie star in Maine, three young sleuths investigate a strange noise that is said to be the ghost of the actor. It's not, but I won't spoil it for you. My sons were intrigued with the secret passageways and caves and boats and other things automatically charming to children. There were at least two possible culprits for the crime they uncovered, so at least ther

This is the 4th book in the A to Z mysteries. It is a mystery book. The Deadly Dungeon is a chapter book. I really enjoyed reading it.
