I appreciate this book and the series for what they are - early chap books with a diverse cast that teach kiddos some great vocab words and show what it means to be dyslexic. But at the same time, the vocabulary Lark is guessing at in this one is far beyond the age kids would be reading this and described in a way that not even adults could get the word.

In terms of the mystery- I saw it being a dog when they mentioned seeing dog yoga in the park. For young kids, I think an animal being the culprit is a nice touch Even though, in life, it was probably Josh. It was all very cute and wrapped up well at the end.
