作者简介
RON ROY has been writing books for children since 1974. He is the author of dozens of books, including the popular A to Z Mysteries®, Calendar Mysteries, and Capital Mysteries. When not working on a new book, Ron likes to teach tricks to his dog Pal, play poker with friends, travel, and read thrilling mystery books.
STEPHEN GILPIN is the award-winning illustrator of dozens of children’s books, including the popular and very funny Pirate Mom. He brings his fresh, kid-friendly style to all the covers of the A to Z Mysteries® series.
My son's teacher tells me he reads a grade level ahead--he is an 8 year old second grader, and I try to encourage him as much as I can. The only 'problem' is we are a bunch of readers in my house and my youngest frequently earns the title of 'contrary-boy' as he will specifically choose to do things his own way. I have (multiple times) feared he would balk at reading just to be different. Thankfully, it hasn't gotten that far but he does balk at reading a lot of the books his brother was interested in at the same age (Pokemon--no loss there, Magic Tree House, Boxcar Children etc). On the other hand, he will try some of the books his older brother will read NOW, like the Wimpy Kid books.
In any case, trying to find a book series he will like, that are age appropriate, and he won't ignore because I'm too happy about it can be a challenge. No "hey look honey at the wonderful book isn't it great!!!". More the "eh, a book, I'll just leave it here and maybe you'll like it".
Now, oddly enough, my older son declined reading the A to Z books--I can't remember if they were offered to him too early/too late, or he just didn't like them. I decided to give this one a try and my youngest absolutely adored it and finished it in one sitting. Amazing!!
So, I give this one the "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" label, with the caveat that all children are different and have different tastes. This one defintely has appeal and is worthwhile, but if your kiddo doesn't like it, well keep trying!
My husband read this to us as a family (I have a first grader and a second grader) just before school started--it was fun, fairly quick, and it kept our attention. We plan to continue reading these little mysteries to see who can figure out the ending. I'm hoping that reading books like these as a family will make reading fun for my little ones.
My kids love the A to Z mysteries and they enjoy reading and then sit down to discuss about the plot and what they felt about it..they loved th e book
Perfect for 2nd Grade Reader. Great low price gift. This book is not too easy to be read on the second grade level, but not too difficult to read, either. This book is also an AR (accelerated reader) book. It is for the lower grades, is a level 3.2 AR book, and your child will get 1 AR point for completing the AR quiz with 100% accuracy.
This is one of the BEST mystery books I've every read. Better than Nancy Drew. Once you start reading it you won't want to stop. FIVE STARTS
