Customer Reviews

Great for adults too.

Gave these to my grandsons and they enjoyed them.

bathroom book

Some of these are really good, some are only sort-of good, but they keep your attention and make you a slightly more thorough thinker each time. Great gift -- we give them to ten-year-olds (lower limit) and up.

A Must for the Classroom Library

I bought this for my 6th grade classroom library. It is perfect for sustained silent reading. I have the students read every day for the first few minutes of class. The students can read one mystery and use critical thinking skills and other comprehension skill to solve the mystery. This is a must have for classroom libraries grades 3-7.

Brain Teasers

This book arrived fast and was in great shape. I am very satisfied with the quality and service. Would definitely order from them again.

Great family fun!

My family and I (wife and 12 yr old son, 9 yr old daughter and 7 yr old daughter) enjoy reading the mysteries in a group and working together attempting to solve the mysteries. Although I think the mysteries would be very challenging for the average child 11 or under teens and up may enjoy the mysteries without becoming frustrated.

So much fun

I love this book, it is so much fun. I love to use it when I am sitting around with friends; I give a puzzle and they all throw out questions trying to figure it out, feeding off of each other's insights. It is so fun the moment that one of them figures it out and everyone else says "Oh, I get it!" This book didn't disappoint, the puzzles are so clever and the drawings so cute. I highly recommend it.
