Green metal frogs, brightly-colored pinatas, and stolen diamonds all come together to create "The Clue in the Recycling Bin."

The Arden children are at it again, playing amateur detectives. Come enjoy this story as they learn what it means to be going green at the new local recycling center and end up finding a thief in it's midst. See how they work together to gather all the pieces of this puzzling chain of events to end a string of month-long crimes, including a diamond heist.

Children's literature is not usually a genre that I review but this turned out to be a nice little break from what I have been reading. I would like to do a lot more children's fiction since I have a 9 year old grandson who loves to read and two young granddaughters who I hope will also get in on the act in time. This story is part of a long series from this author and I am definitely going to have to look for some more!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is searching for a good children's fiction series. I seem to have a harder time finding good reads for young boys this age, so these seem perfect!
