The Sleepwalking Vampire is a unique story. This book got some original to it. Though this one was more entertaining and interesting read. I am not into vampires much at all. The way this book is focused on a friend's family member and her problem. It different in a way as the child think she is a vampire.

They think she a real one or at least one of them does. This mystery seems funnier. The way this one goes makes it believable. These detectives not own need to solve one mystery but two. They find out that jewelry is going missing.

This book and whole series is a good one for middle-grade children. If you enjoy solving puzzles and riddles and trying to figure out who done it? This book and series are good for your child or children. I do recommend it and each book has its mysteries to solve. This is a good Halloween story or book.

Basically Scooby-Doo in a middle grade book. The perp would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.

The book needs an editor. Many consistency issues.

But the story? It was fun and engaging and truly kept pulling me back in.

It was a fun read! What can I say. I liked it, gosh darn it.

Very cute story and easy read. I won a copy from Goodreads Giveaways and after reading it gave it to my 10 year old niece. She finished it in 3 days and loved it. She wants me to buy her more The Decoders books for Christmas now.
