Critics Review
The mystery unfolds through detailed illustrations rather than long text, inviting inquisitive 5-9 year olds to spot evidence on every page. Designed for emerging readers, it cleverly bridges picture books and comics while focusing on careful retrieval, inference and problem solving. Highly Recommended. – Tom Tolkien * School Reading List Review *
