Summary: Still great after all these years
Review: I hate to echo the other reviews but I feel the same way...I loved this book as a child. I read it over and over and kept hoping I'd stumble upon a similar mystery in my house to solve. Now, I'm reading the whole series of Liza, Jed and Bill mysteries to my daughters, ages 4 and 7, and they love them as much as I did. My 7-year-old can read them herself, but it's more fun to share them as a family, a chapter a night. I'd recommend this book (the best in the series in my opinion) as a great gift, even for a reluctant reader. Kids just have to keep turning the pages to see what happens.

Summary: A mystery that children figure out
Review: This was my favorite book as a child. I recently read it to my eight year old, who has re-read it a number of times. I also read it to his third grade class and they loved it. Despite being slightly dated, this book has all the things kids love...mystery, adventure, and looking for things. It also has a rather touching ending that had several third graders a little choked up. You will be hard pressed to find a better book for your elementary school readers.

Summary: Wow!
Review: When I was 6 or so, my mother used to read my sister and I these books one chapter at a time. I used to get really impatient having to wait a whole day for the next chapter. Once when I complained, my mother said "go read the book yourself then" Up to that point I had refused to learn to read....but I had to see what happened next. It took me a long time, but I eventually got the hang of reading and from then on I became a reading machine. Years latter my mother confessed that getting me interested to read the books myself was her whole plan. Thanks mom! Awesome books! The kind all children (and grownups) should read!
