Middle Grade Mysteries

[Madiha]

I've enjoyed books like Ali Cross, Mrs. Smith's Spy School for Girls.
I'd like the books to be centered around a 10-14 year old character.
Thanks everyone!

Oops, I realized I posted this in unsolved....
Is there a way to put into the suggest books for me folder?

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor]

Yep, there is!

On Desktop, you can click the "edit" link on the top right. It will take you to a screen where you can edit the title. You should also be able to change the folder, as well, from there.

If you can't do it, that's okay! A mod can do it for you!

Some MG mystery novels I liked were:
・ The A to Z Mysteries (Ron Roy)
・ Calendar Mysteries (Ron Roy)
・ Capital Mysteries (Ron Roy, again) I haven't read this series, but I read the others, so I would think this would also be good.

[Madiha]

Those are good, but I've read them.

[Madiha]

However, I think I want more mature(?) Characters!

[Madiha]

I would add The Boxcar Children to this list. They were my favs in first grade.

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor]

Okay, no problem!

So, "mature" pre–teens?

Also, were you able to figure out how to switch folders? If you weren't, you can ask the mods to do it for you through this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Madiha]

Nope, Asia, I was unable to switch.
Technically, I'm fine with both.. but I prefer mature pre-teens/teens.

The characters in the books by Karen M. McManus have older characters, avout 16- young 20s. But good mysteries/thrillers from her! They do have language, so that would be the only downside
