Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?Third graders Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are getting ready for Halloween when they are approached by a man claiming to be a private detective. He enlists their help in recovering the videotape of a bank robbery. The bandit is described as a tall, red-haired high school boy. The three friends search for information as they go trick-or-treating and locate Lucky O'Leary, who fits the profile, but claims to be innocent. In fact, the robber on the video bears a striking resemblance to the supposed detective. Second in the series, this short, snappy Halloween story is full of funny incidents. The black-and-white drawings add to the fun. A good early chapter book that will be equally useful with remedial readers.?Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Product Description
B is for Bandit... The Green Lawn Savings Bank has been robbed! When a

private detective comes to Dink's door looking for the kid who videotaped the

crime, Dink and his friends volunteer to find him. After all, there's a reward!

But tracking down one red-headed kid isn't so easy, especially if he doesn't

want to be found. Can the trio find that kid--and his tape--before the bandit

does?

5.0 out of 5 stars Really neat!!, June 13, 1999
By A Customer
I love this book and The Absent Author. Thery both are kind of scary and really mysterious. The Bald Bandit is about three kids, Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose. A boy has taped a robber robbing the Green Lawn bank. The three kids have to find the tape and the robber and you'll be surprised at who robbed the bank!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't get enough of it, March 23, 2004
By Sheri Myers (Illinois) - See all my reviews
My 6 year old who hates to read and hates chapter books can't wait for me to read the next chapter to her! The mystery part isn't too hard to figure out and the clues are easy enough for her to catch. I highly recomend this series to any parent who it trying to show their children that reading can be fun. We now own over half of the series.

By A Customer
A new children's mystery series from A - Z. Meet Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose and enjoy their adventures in Green Lawn. Help them solve who robbed Green Lawn Savings Bank. A great way to spend quality time with your children and have fun together as a family. Can't wait for the "Canary Caper" to become available.
