These books just get better and better. My favorite experiment involves putting a ghost into a shoebox which I really want to try.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The mysteries are short 13 Encyclopedia Brown 13like, and will be enjoyable for kids, but it's not the greatest fit for a fourth grade unit on Mysteries. On the other hand, I did like the science experiments at the end tied to the mysteries solved in the book.

Recommend this series for 5/6 year olds. Engaging, fun and desirable reads.
Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey, science detectives. They are very punctual, precise, and professional. Fun to read.
Awesome one.
