[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

Been re-reading all my childhood books. Easier to put down when it is time to go to sleep. I like these books for kids - some mystery and deducting going on, but not too absurd and not too cheesy. Good ones for any kid who can read them.

A fun mystery! I was fascinated with Brains' method of finding the culprit as a kid. Ingenious!
