Customer Reviews

Loved them

I gave these books to my surrogate granddaughter. She loved them. I got the first 3 books & she wants the rest of the series.

Great Read

My godson LOVES this Capital mystery books & it's hard for him to pick a favorite. The stories are all keep the reader's interest and they learn history without knowing. Well done!

You should read this book!

The Skeleton in the Smithsonian is an exciting book to read because KC and Marshall have to solve lots of clues to save the Smithsonian. I like it when the kids figure out Leonard Fisher's real job because it leads them to the real skeleton. This book has a lot of action!

Great book.....great series

My two daughters ages 9 and 7 absolutely love the Capital Mysteries series including this book. We were surprised that we weren't able to find them in the shelves in any bookstore along side their other favorites like A to Z Mysteries,

Best Capital Mystery yet!!!

This book is the third in the Capital Mysteries series. K.C. and her friend Marshal go to dinner with the president and find out that someone claims to be in heir to James Smithson. (The person that built the smithsonion institution.) When Marshal sugests they compare DNA to see if the person is related to James Smithson, The Heir Smiles, what is he up to??? Is he really an heir to James Smithson?? Or is he a fake?? Find out in Skeleton in the Smithsonion!! I reccomend this book to kids 5 and up.
