The Case of the Piggy Bank Thief

118 pp. | Holiday | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2517-4 $16.95
(4) 4-6 First Kids Mystery series. In the fourth series installment, Tessa's lost her piggy bank, but there's something a lot more valuable than pennies inside. In book five, a fossilized dinosaur egg has been stolen from the National Museum of Natural History. Freeman deftly distills science and political goings-on to middle-grade level, the mystery plots are engaging (if obvious), and Tessa's sister Cammie's narration is accessible. Review covers these First Kid Mystery titles: The Case of the Missing Dinosaur Egg and The Case of the Piggy Bank Thief.
