This is another light fun tale of mystery from the Field Trip Mysteries Series surrounding a group of school children who go bowling together on a class field trip. Depictions of child behavior was accurate and believable. A good cozy read for children just beginning chapter book reading. Colorful page inserts of illustrations and text help spice the book up. At the end there is a dictionary of terms, as well as writing prompts and a web address for games and online adventures surrounding the series for children to explore or for teachers and parents to use.

We are going bowling . Not only will this be fun activities with the students will also be the hands-on learning experience in physics. We will study of the ball moves against the bowling lane floor after being thrown various ways. We are certain that all the liens well there will not be any on expected gutter balls. Have fun reading! :-)

This a great mystery series for beginning chapter book readers. The story is short with great comic book style illustrations. The gang of friends, Cat, Sam, Egg and Gum are at a bowling alley when they discover something isn't right on their field trip. The series is the Field Trip Mysteries.

Nice, light mystery. Nothing too scary. Good for both boys and girls. Lots of illustrations.
