Sara McGaughy "Sara McGaughy, Author of Matil... (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Animal Shelter Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #22) (Paperback)

With a title like "The Animal Shelter Mystery," I was hoping that the story would have focused more on the actual shelter. It probably wasn't the author's intent to do that, but it feels like a misssed opportunity. Kind of slow moving in spots, which kept me from giving a higher rating. Still, if your young reader likes animals, it's well worth reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars An OK book, but really boring
This book has a good story to it, but its way to boring. It needs more exitment to it. The animals and plot was good but their wasn't much els in the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good but not great
It is definetly not the type of book that keeps you at the edge of your seat at all times. It may be a little boring for people who usually read books under 100 pages.
