Customer Reviews

A Great Series

If the author is Ron Roy, the book is going to be a good one. My son who is 9 and has a higher reading level than these books require, loves these books. The A to Z mysteries has three friends who solve mysteries. The children in this series are realistic and they are the type of children you would want your child associating with. They demonstrate many positive traits. In this mystery the kids solve a mystery of empty envelopes. This was one of my son's favorite stories in this series.

A to Z mysterys of the emtey envelopes

I liked this book. My favorite part was when someone put the five envelopes in the fridge and pretended a dinosaur named Steggy did it. The envelopes had grape finger prints on them. You'll have to read the book to find out who did it! by Charity age 8

Excellent Envelope Mystery

Dink gets five envelopes and the fifth one has nothing in it. Dink and his friends discover that the other envelopes have clues which leads them to solve the mystery of the empty envelope. What is so special about the fifth envelope? I like the A-Z Mysteries because ordinary kids can solve big mysteries. Keep up the exciting mysteries Ron Roy.

Entertaining and Educational: Ron Roy Hits the Mark Again

My 9 year old daughter is willing to shut off the TV and ignore her gameboy when I give her one of the books in the A to Z mystery series. Each of these mysteries presents a story that captures the imagination of the 8-10 year old, and provides them with characters that are "cool" while modelling constructive behavior such as problem solving, cooperation, and respect for others. The three heroes of each story, Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose are kids your kid would like as friends. The author is skilled at presenting the mystery in a way that draws kids in. The clues are laid out in a logical way, as the story unfolds. My daughter has rarely guessed the solution before the end of the story, but she "got it" right along with Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose.

Excellent!

This book is really good! I like the A to Z mysteries a lot. They make you really excited. I can't wait to get to the end of the book sometimes, so I know what happens.
