Ron Roy has been writing books for children since 1974. He is the author of dozens of books, including the popular A to Z Mysteries®, Calendar Mysteries, and Capital Mysteries. When not working on a new book, Ron likes to teach tricks to his dog Pal, play poker with friends, travel, and read thrilling mystery books.
Based on this first book, this seems like it will be an entertaining little series. At times, the stories are predictable but they are perfect for a six year old (though my daughter said she likes Encyclopedia Brown better). The three main characters are a fun group of kids with distinctive natures (one of which chooses only to wear a single color each day). The mysteries to be solved get kids thinking and asking questions. I'd be open to listening to the next book in this series. :)
This was a cute mystery series targeting younger readers. The characters were realistic and the mysteries were very kid-appropriate. I thought the stories were adorable, but I don't think this is something that would attract my students' attention on their own. I think if encouraged to pick them up, though, they would enjoy them.
My sons (ages 5 and 7) enjoyed these stories- they are short, fun and even funny at times. They love to try and solve the mystery before the end of the story!
