What, you think I wouldn’t log something like this? Don’t project your own insecurities on me. You read a book, you LOG a book. Goodreads requires conviction, a grindset. You have it or you don’t. You get to your yearly reading goal any way you can.

there’s a kid in here named OSCAR OATMEAL

The characters are fun and entertaining throughout the book. There is tons of humor that kept me thoroughly entertained as a child. I love whodunit books and trying to figure out the various mysteries and this collection of tales certainly doesn’t disappoint. This is a great read for children who love mysteries.

I loved this series as a kid. As an adult rereading it, I realize how much of a buzzkill the clue jr. kids are. I’m shocked none of their classmates beat them up! They’re a bunch of goody two shoed rule followers. They need to let loose and live a little.

Eight short little mysteries for early readers to solve.

I found the art style of the people absolutely horrendous (these 10 year olds look like diminutive 30+ year olds) and the mysteries (except 2) fairly easy to solve (granted I’m an adult!!).
They were all fine to read though! Short and sweet. Flipping the end pages to read the reveals was cool!

Two of the mysteries were… stretches and leaps of logic, but it’s a kids book with kid threat level mysteries, so the stakes aren’t particular high and the degree of proper detective work equally as such.

Decent collection of kids mysteries.
