A fun mystery that reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock and the 3 investigators books. Enjoyed the plot and the kid characters. A great mystery for kids to read.

two children standing outside a bank see a bank robbery happen! the lad just so happens to be a detective of sorts and he is able to sift out the clues while law enforcement arrests the wrong man. (frightful) includes some mentions of faith which are sad.

I believe that this was a great book. I love books like this that contain drama and detective work. It was interesting to find out that their friend was being framed. It was also interesting to see their dynamic as a team. They helped solve the case. Overall I think this was a great book and I recommend it.
I noticed that Sherlock is very skillful with his detective work. I wonder how it would really feel to solve a serious case. I think that Penny and Sherlock work great together. If I were a detective I would work very hard and try to solve every case. I'm not sure if I would be as good of a detective as Sherlock.
