Приятно и различно. Харесва ми, че главите са кратки, но те карат да обгръщаш.
С Ясен успяхме да намерим повечето следи, но някои си бяха невъзможни.
Стил на писане - ужасен :)

The story wasn't all that strong, but enough that someone would feel like they can solve the problem. The pictures are black and white. Sometimes it was super easy to see what you are supposed to see. Other times, even when I knew where I should look (the next page tells you) I couldn't find what I was supposed to see.

I could see how this could be a great book for a more reluctant reader, but it really didn't hold my attention well. I believe there are four books out in the series, but I'll probably skip the rest.

2.5 stars
