Working our way through the alphabet in this series. The Quicksand Question wasn't our favorite in the series, but was a solid book. The mystery was fairly tame, and though there was some excitement, there was little danger involved for the kid detectives. I did feel, however, that the author was beginning to stretch the story a bit, trying to fit the plot into the "Q" theme. It worked, sort of. Anyway, we are moving on to "The Runaway Racehorse" next.

I thought The Quicksand Question was another nice addition to the A-Z Mysteries series. The storyline about the town of Green Lawn building a bridge so that the ducks could safely cross the road was cute, and the rescue of Dink and Josh from the quicksand added a little suspense and excitement. Overall, another fun read in this series.

I learned what quicksand really is, and that it can be found anywhere where there is sand and water under the right conditions. Who knew!

I liked the idea to build a bridge for ducks and ducklings. It was very clever that the quicksand was the clue.
