I remember enjoying these books as a boy and love sharing them with my son. Besides being enjoyable stories with admirable characters they are great for teaching reading. Solving the puzzles requires reading with attention to the details, logic and imagination. Sometimes young readers would rather skip difficult to read details but with these books they know they need to get each word.

I have decided to be the book grandma, and this is the perfect starter for my 7 1/2 year old grandson. I am striving to get him as excited about reading as I did his mother 30 years ago.

This is a wonderful book for boys who like adventure. My son is dyslexic and doesn't like to read but is required to read 3 over the summer. It's hard to get him interested in any book, but he liked these, and they are a fairly easy read but still sophisticated enough to keep a 10 year old interested.

Christmas gift...
Not much to say because it was a gift but it was for my friend's 9 year old and it's a book from my childhood that I loved - I hope it lights his fire, too.

Great for a 7 year old
Bought it as a gift for a 7 year old boy and he loved it. He wants the next set of this series. This would be a good starter book before the kids move on to Hardy boys. Read more

Not as good of writing as I remembered. The stories are fun, but the writing is weak.
