Interesting and enjoyable mystery

See Also Murder: A Marjorie Trumaine Mystery (Marjorie Trumaine Mysteries)

Okay read but not my first choice

The Unbelievable Top Secret Diary of Pig

They are at an age where they are learning to spell and how to use grammar properly so it may just go past them. I’m not sure it would work well as a read-aloud book, either. All in all, it is an okay book but not one that I would recommend as a must have for a child’s bookshelf.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via the publisher.
