Mystery Mob and the Haunted Attic

Mystery Mob

by Roger Hurn

Ideal to engage reluctant boy readers aged 7-12. There are strange sounds coming from Gummy's attic. It sounds like ghosts - or could it be vampires? There is only one way to find out! The Mystery Mob series has been written specially to appeal to boys and to develop reading enjoyment and reading stamina. Each book follows the story of a gang of six adventurous (sometimes too adventurous!) boys as they get into scrapes and unravel mysterious happenings. The unintimidating format and friendly design help motivate boys to pick up a book and continue reading through the whole series. A non-fiction section at the back features quizzes, jokes and fun facts so you can find out more about what the Mystery Mob have been up to. Interest 7-12 Reading 7-8

[The Styling Librarian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mystery Mob and the Haunted Attic and Mystery Mob and the Day of the Dinosaurs by Roger Hurn – 2nd grade and up, Mystery – Interesting series. Was shared in a librarian meeting earlier this year. Happy I investigated. Great read aloud, especially for partner reading. I can see some students really enjoying a buddy reading experience with this one. Quite a humorous book!
