Family fun.

Ellie and the gang are back at it again. This time the mystery takes place at a fun park. We loved how everything was described so even people who've never been to a fair could easily visualize it all.

The book comes complete with usable suspect lists, discussion question, fun facts and jokes at the end. I encourage readers to take advantage of these resources so you get the complete interactive experience.

My daughter's favourite part was when Ellie got the lolly stuck in her hair because she found that very relatable. My son liked learning about all the fun things to do at a fun park. He also gets very serious about solving the mystery.

The illustration really help pull everything together as well.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the author and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

A fun trip to Mega Adventure Land may turn sour if Scaredy Bat can’t figure out what’s causing all the broken rides. Was someone sabotaging them? Scaredy Bat was on the case as she tracks the mysterious hooded figure through the park.

But that wasn’t all. Something was draining the kids’ transformation powers, too. And the gang was mysteriously disappearing. What was going on? This might be the toughest case ever!

With cute and colorful illustrations, this was a nice, little read!

WOW

Amazing story! Who knew that siblings might stand a chance of friendship after one solves a mystery. Guess you will have to read to find the unsupecting suspect. It's not who you think.
