Reviews

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun “who-dun-it” where the investigators are journalists looking for the scoop that boosts their newspaper’s success.

We read this as a family for bedtime story time and we all enjoyed it. Enough mystery to keep us guessing, and just enough excitement to ask for one more chapter and not fall asleep after the first sentence.

I love reading my vintage books to my family for the simple fact that they’re relatively tame and PG for young kiddos.
