Great, Thirlling, Funny Mystery

This was a very well written mystery book for kids. Better than many well-received mysteries I've read (or tried to read) for adults. Great dialogue. Great characters. Great cliffhanger chapter endings. My kids loved it. Especially the character Meat. My kids thought he was hilarious. It says for 9+ years but I read this to my 6 and 5 year-old and they both loved it. Too hard for little ones to read but fun to read to them. A bit scary for them but, like a good roller coaster ride, they liked being a bit frightened.
