Every mystery from A to Z in one box: twenty-six short whodunits, one for each letter, starring three friends who crack cases together, and a whole year of just-tricky-enough puzzles.
Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose live in the town of Green Lawn, and trouble keeps finding them: a missing author, a stolen bike, a canyon con, a house that seems haunted. Each short book is one tidy mystery with clues a child can actually follow and solve alongside them, and the titles march straight through the alphabet from The Absent Author to The Zombie Zone. This box holds all twenty-six, so a child who likes puzzling things out has a full year of them, in order or any order at all.
Your child loves to figure things out, and this is the set that makes reading feel like a game. The mysteries are real but never frightening, the clues are laid out fairly so a child can beat the characters to the answer, and the chapters are short enough to finish before lights-out. Twenty-six books at one steady, comfortable level is the gift: a mystery-loving child can read one a week for half a year and never hit a wall or run out.
