What a fun book for children! I had a wonderful reading experience with this book. In fact, after the last several books, this was absolutely refreshing!
The Jelly Bean Club Begins by Sally Butler is a modern Nancy Drew series for young kids to enjoy and develop a love for reading.
On an ordinary, normal day, sisters Audrey and Ashley start their day as detectives, searching for their father's missing tie. After successfully search, the two sisters head off to school. During class, Audrey's teacher reads to them from a along with their friend Julianna start a club, they find themselves knee deep in a mystery. Of course their neighborhood schoolmates, start a club too and want in on the fun. Unfortunately, it's not going to be fun once things start to heat up.
Finding a flyer in the mailbox starts the whole adventure as the girls set out to find a missing show dog who's owners have offered a hefty reward. The neighborhood boys don't want to be left out so they follow the girls who are hot on the trail. They are lead on adventure they never thought they would encounter.
This is a great book about the importance of teamwork and friendship. All to often, children feel the effects of peer pressure and succumb to meanness and spite. While you start to see a little of normal taunting in the book from the boys, it ends with a really great message.
And the story is believable! Why? I have a memory and I remember what it was like to be in grade school and I seem to recall...Anyway, I highly recommend this for young readers to introduce them to something other than a video game. Great story, fast read and I guarantee you'll want to read the next one!

This was an alright book. It started off a little boring but it got a more intresting in the part of the book where the girls who are in the Jelly Bean Detective club are searching the park for a lost dog and follow dog foot prints into a forest. A couple boys from their school follow them to see what they are up to and see the girls enter the forest. The boys decide to go into the forest and find the girls and make sure they are okay. Eventually they all are trying to escape from a couple poachers in the woods. That was the more interesting part of the book. It did have a decent ending as the dog did get rescued and the poachers were caught at the end. I did notice that there were a bunch of typos in this kindle text. There were some that were miss typed quite a few times in a particular section of the book. So, perhaps this book could have been edited a little better.This book didn't seem as well written as it could of been but overall, this book wasn't bad but I have read other children's mystery books that I liked better than this one, such as Nancy Drew mysteries,The Boxcar Children books ( I haven't read those ones in years, but I remember I liked to read them when I was little.)Even The Mystery of Smugglers Cove which I read before this book I thought was better than The Jellybean Club one.

Cute; kind of like a modern day Famous Five, complete with a dog napping and some nasty criminals in the woods!
