The Case of the Silver Skull

BOOK REVIEW Can Roger solve the case or will the silver skull be gone forever? This mystery book was about a boy named Roger who was invited to a silver home-tour. Roger was in charge of the guest book. He was also to keep track of suspicious-looking people on the tour. Roger became over anxious when he spotted two men who he thought might have stolen the silver skull. He soon found to that he and made a mistake as far as they were concerned but then became suspicious again. Roger himself overheard an egg customer of his own, Colonel Byrd, discussing the silver skull, which had belonged to Mrs. Hargrove but had recently disappeared. Roger began to investigate and started following the Colonel.When he gathered enough information, he notified the police but not before getting involved in close call with the Colonel and his gang. The police were finally able to pin the theft on the Colonel.Roger was congratulated and he went home to rest in his office tree house.The plot of the book was about the theft of the silver skull from Mrs. Hargrove's house and how the crime was solved and who did it.I liked the book because it kept the thief a secret until the end and it was easy to follow.
