Customer Reviews

Great series for kids

My children (and their teachers, too!) love the THIRD GRADE DETECTIVES series. Readers learn a lot about how police use science to solve crimes. This series turned one of my children around in science class. Until he started reading the Third Grade Detectives (so far, there are five titles in the series), he was doing poorly in his science studies. Now, he can hardly wait to study science!
