(4) 1-3 Ready-for-Chapters: Third-Grade Detectives series. Illustrated by Salvatore Murdocca. In these two installments, the members of Mr. Merlin's class use their logic skills, their ability to crack a code, and the help of a police lab to solve a pair of mysteries. One case involves food poisoning; the other a run-over bicycle. The characters are minimally developed and the mysteries themselves not especially interesting, but readers will enjoy trying to solve the mysteries and learning a new code. [Review covers these Ready-for-Chapters: Third-Grade Detectives titles: The Case of the Dirty Clue and The Secret of the Green Skin.]
Reviewer: Susan Dove Lempke
