(3) 4-6 Betts Pets Mystery series. Likably quirky narrator Aaron Betts, whose parents run a pet shop, finds on his doorstep a turtle with a painted shell. Soon Aaron is stalked and held captive by a trio of bumbling villains who want the turtle back because the markings on its shell show where five million dollars is hidden. The fast-paced story combines suspense, humor, and engaging family dynamics.
