I bought a random bundle of Mary-Kate and Ashley mystery books from eBay and this is what happened... https://youtu.be/9zBdErV3UAk

It was okay at best. If I was in 3rd grade I'd probably love it but well I figured it out right away then I spent much of the time imagining how irresponsible the adults were and how white everyone must be.

Loved these books when I was little! I've got my daughter reading them now.

Really kept me on the edge of my seat

A super old mummy being dragged around a museum? Totally fine. Snakes in your desk at school? Normal enough. Missing art smocks? Now that's where Mary-Kate and Ashley draw the line

It was cool because I think mummies are interesting.

Mary-Kate and Ashley go the mummy museum but when they get there the mommy is missing. The trench coat twins must solve the mystery by dinner time. This would be a good book for talking about mummies in fifth grade.

[Katelyn Dowd]

Great book but they should have had longer books because sometimes they find four or five clues and solve the mystery. No fifth grade detective could do that so quickly!
