This series came to me recommended by others in the Grow-a-Reader Bookbox. I agree. Good first mystery series. (

Early Reader (fiction) This is a fast-paced mystery involving three friends. It actually kept my attention. They have to solve the mystery of a missing famous author only to find out they've been played. Not particularly great literature but a fun read.

It was bad because it wasn't entertaining (like a Magic Treehouse book). I wish it was more about animals. (
