Harry has always loved solving mysteries, and now his friends in Room 3B have learned to love it, too. So Harry challenges them to figure out what he has hidden in his giant, old suitcase. Led by a very determined Mary, the kids take turns solving clues and piecing the mystery together. Their hunt leads them from the classroom to the library, and even to Harry's grandfather's nursing home. Will they be able to solve Harry's mystery? Or will things go horribly wrong for the novice detectives?

Reviews

[MelMon Sanchez]

It had a moral in the story and it made me smile. The kids in the story went on their own detective adventure and it wasnt like the action books you see now. But a real story to make your mind work.

My son read this to me, and it was not really keeping either of our attention. It was okay

[Danielle]

This was a really fun story that featured all of the class (the students we see, anyway) getting involved in a mystery.

[Nick]

The Horrible Harry series has grown on me over time, and this new volume has a clever puzzle and a clever twist. Rather than solving an existing mystery, this time Harry has to create a mystery for his friends to solve, in order to prove several points about solving mysteries. Their methods and solution are well-handled, and kids the age of Harry and his friends should enjoy this story, and learn some things along the way.

My children (6 and 9) love this series. I enjoyed this particular Horrible Harry book more than many of the others. It was fun and exciting. The children worked together. There was silliness. A fun, quick read to share with young children.
