Customer Reviews

I think it was a great book!

This book was about a girl named Amber Lee. She gets a letter but she does not know who sent the letter. Her friends try to help her and they even use secret codes. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. I loved the parts with the codes. If you like to solve codes you're going to like this book.

Wonderful for budding detectives!

The THIRD GRADE DETECTIVES is a wonderful series for budding detectives - like my kids are! It's also great for teaching science - something my kids weren't really interested in until they found out that the police use science to solve crimes!

A Good Way to get your Kids to Think!

I bought this book hoping to end the "electronic gameitis" my son was displaying. I was not disappointed, first the book introduces a third grade classroom which my son relates to because he's in the third grade. Then it show how to write and decode a secret message. I'm still decoding secret messages sent TOP SECRET. Because it involves a mystery that is simple and somewhat common, it keeps the kids thinking "hey, this could happen to me!" This book is the solution to show kids that they have an imagination, no need to rely on t.v, etc... My only complaint is that's its too short.
