Reviews

[Helena]

Peruskivaa etsiväkerhopuuhailua, jossa ei ole jännityksen häivääkään. Isoa fonttia, suhteellisen yksinkaista kieltä. Sopinee lapsille, jotka tykkäävät lukea mukavia kirjoja mukavista asioista.

[Vinkkitonttu]

Erittäin sopiva kirja etenkin n. 7 -vuotiaille, mutta kelpaisi varmaan 9-10 -vuotiaille vielä lukemaan opettelevillekin... salakielet kun on kivoja ja arvoitusta ei ihan heti arvaa, vaikka pystyykin arvaamaan.

[Anu-vinkkari]

Neljän kaveruksen perustama mysteerikerho selvittelee tällä kertaa outojen, salakielisten lappujen arvoitusta. Kun tuittupäisen Billien kaverit tuntuvat jatkuvasti olevan askelen Billien edellä, iskee kateuden peikko. Asiat saadaan sovittua ja koodiarvoitus ratkeaa yhteistyöllä, jokaista tarvitaan. Kirjan lopussa vielä koukkuna vihje seuraavasta arvoituksesta.

[Reetta Saine]

Helppolukuista etsiväkerhojuttua, joka kyllä käsittelee enemmän ystävyyttä ja tunteita kuin dekkareita, mutta menkööt :).
