5.0 out of 5 stars Who Stole the Money, December 8, 2008

By	apoem "apoem" (Bosque Farms, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This whole series, all by the same author, are just wonderful. They are written to the interest of a 3rd and 4th grade level. However, their reading level is more like that of a 2nd and 3rd grader. This means a wide range of children can read these books and enjoy them.

The three characters that solve the problems are the type of children you want your child to be friends with in real life. They exhibit positive character traits; such as honesty, problem solving, helping friends and more.

In this mystery they help figure out who stole the college money of a man that had been putting on a show with a robot t-rex.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great series, January 3, 2008

By	C. Reich (Heidelberg, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter loves this whole series. They can be read by a 3rd grader without too much trouble and even while in the 2nd grade my daughter could figure out most of the books. They keep the same characters for the whole series and so kids can get attached to them. We will be in big trouble when we reach Z.
