My First Mystery,
This review is from: Meg Mackintosh and the Case of the Missing Babe Ruth Baseball: A Solve-It-Yourself Mystery (Meg Mackintosh Mystery series) (Paperback)
I first read this book when I was about 7 years old, and it started a lifelong interest in mystery stories. I practically squealed with joy when I found it again at the library recently.
The story is pretty simple, but it really encourages kids to think as they try to solve the clues to the mystery along with the heroine, Meg. Meg is visiting her grandfather when he tells her about a sort of treasure hunt that his cousin, Alice, created for him years ago that he was never able to solve. Alice took his prized possession, a baseball signed by Babe Ruth, and refused to tell him where it was. Instead, she left him a series of clues leading to the place where it is hidden. Although her grandfather was unable to find the answers to any of the clues, Meg is determined to solve the mystery and find the baseball. To add to the challenge, Meg's brother is also trying to solve the mystery, and she is trying to find the baseball before he does. At each stage of the mystery, the book asks readers to consider the clues Meg finds and to study the pictures to find the answers before turning the page to find out what Meg's conclusions are. All the clues in the treasure hunt are based upon popular nursery rhymes, which kids can easily recognize. From personal experience, I know that kids are impressed when they realize that they know enough to figure out the meanings of the clues on their own. This is a good book for kids in early elementary school, especially ones who enjoy mysteries and puzzles.
