This is one of the best books I have ever read! This series is about three kids who like to solve mysteries. In this book one of Ruth Rose, Dink, and Josh's friends autographed baseballs are stolen and they need to find out who stole them. If you love mysteries read this series! Ages 6-9.

My daughter is working her way through all of these. They flow well, have a great storyline, and yet leave some clues for the kids to solve at the end. I don't know what she will read when she gets to Z.

"Give it 5 stars Mom"

"Why is that son?"

"It's the best one out of the series" (he hasn't read L or V-Z yet)

"What's so good about it?"

"It's cool".

"Anything else?"

"Nope"

My little chatterbox was not feeling verbose apparently.

This is a series my older son refused to get into when he was the same age, however my youngest has really taken to it. He is 8, in the second grade, and according to his teacher he reads 'above level'. He also likes Captain Underpants, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Stink series. He has declined to read the Magic Treehouse or Boxcar Children books, possibly because that is what his older brother liked and thus we had on our shelves already. Oh well, Mom has to get more books...

In any case, the stories obviously have held his interest well and are challenging enough for him to enjoy without being too hard. Anything to encourage reading, and this series has done a great job at that! We have V-Z on the way and hopefully 'L' will turn up soon...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
