A Perfect Mystery Series for Young Girls
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
My six year old daughter loves these books, and I agree with her. The protagonist is a clever girl who solves mysteries primarily through visual clues. The story stops from time to time and alerts the reader to figure out some question before proceeding, which is very helpful. The difficulty level is about age 6-12, and it's a fun series for both kids and grownups.
