a book that makes you wonder

The book is not only the second funnest accelerated reading book I ever read, but I also liked how it asked questions at the end of the page. And it was a really fun book to read.TJ McBride 7 years old

A Perfect Mystery Series for Young Girls

My six year old daughter loves these books, and I agree with her. The protagonist is a clever girl who solves mysteries primarily through visual clues. The story stops from time to time and alerts the reader to figure out some question before proceeding, which is very helpful. The difficulty level is about age 6-12, and it's a fun series for both kids and grownups.
