Highly Recommended by a 4th Grade Teacher!
Book #1 of this series ("The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity") is such a fun read! I've used it as a read-aloud in my 4th class two years in a row, and it's a hit! I always conduct a fake Amazon review with my students when we're done with a read-aloud to get their feedback. All but 2 of my students gave it 5 stars. The 2 girls who didn't rate it 5 stars said it was because there weren't any girls in the story - which is true. But the rest of my students (including 11 other girls) gave it a hands-down 5 stars - and I agree!! It's a fast-paced story with loads of adventure and plenty of comic relief. Several parts were laugh-out-loud hysterical!I went ahead and bought the whole series for my classroom library because I knew my students would want to read the other 3 books once we were done. Sure enough, I had to hold a drawing to see who would check them out first. I practically had a riot on my hands! Kids just LOVE these books! As an educator, I HIGHLY recommend them!!

We have had some excellent times reading and re-reading these books
We have had some excellent times reading and re-reading these books. My son - who is 7 - just about gets them, but needs a few things explained. Best though is that they will become more in depth as he ages a little. Worth it

Great reads for young mystery fans!
These books are perfect for a young boy; great mysteries, fun characters and suspense. Great for a gift.

Defective printing
We absolutely love Mac Barnett Books and this series is no exception. However, book #3 , It happened on a train, is defective! The printing company messed up the pages and we have no pages 54-86! We have later pages twice.... My son is completely beside himself as we were will into this great read. We are 2 days past the Amazon return window and can't find a way to have this remedied. Very disappointing!

Enjoyable for a 10 year old
Our 10-year old has been reading these books happily! They are like Encyclopedia Brown in style, but modernized. Our 7-year old (who is an excellent reader) said they were too scary for him.
