I really enjoyed this book. It was a mostly interesting case with some parts I wish had been better explained, but overall the case was good. I like the way these books are written where it’s like you’re sitting there with the gang and they tell you about a case and you read Velma’s notebook about the case, with much more detail and written in story form as opposed to what a real notebook from the case might look like, and there’s questions for the reader to think about along the way to help guide their thinking on who could have done it and why. It’s great for kids because it gives them a little more interaction with the book versus just being a passive reader, and it really encourages the reader to take notes as you meet suspects and clues and to go over all that as you try to figure out who did it. It’s great for little detectives who want a little more out of their Scooby Doo books!

You will crap yourself at the twist ending...like we didn't see this coming. M. Night could never have come up with something so bizarre.

Whether the clues and writing level was on par, I cannot remember. My life is split in two: before reading this book and after. We are all changed people because of it.

No thoughts, head empty...only a real damned pterodactyl in the Scooby-Dooniverse.

Sincerely,
The Scooby Drew Crew, 2022

I must be reading too many of these with the boy as I guessed the criminal again - but I think the pterodactyl was actually supposed to be real, which kind of took me out of the classic Scooby-Doo moment.
