K-3Viking Easy-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Barbara Johansen Newman.
Solving mysteries--not addition problems--is Jeffrey Bones's forte. When the young detective's math test goes missing, he starts searching for clues right away to avoid taking the test all over again. Adler's easy-to-read story has plenty of humor (beginning readers will giggle over Not-Me Amy, a classmate who always says, "Not me"). Newman's cheerful half-page illustrations nicely reinforce the text.
