After The Kidnapped King severely stretched my suspension of disbelief, The Lucky Lottery offers Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose a mystery that's far more realistic for them to solve. Instead of trusting these elementary schoolers with the future of a fictional country, The Lucky Lottery sees them reunite...

So... I think this is the A to Z Mysteries book that makes the least sense from a "kid-appropriate mysteries" sense. I don't mean to imply that the content is by any means inappropriate for children, of course. Rather, I'm referring to the premise itself. In these "child sleuth" books, one or more e...

The A to Z Mysteries series is written by Ron Roy; this audiobook is narrated by David Pittu and contains The Deadly Dungeon (review), The Empty Envelope (review), The Falcon's Feathers (review), and The Goose's Gold (review).I'll be honest: I'm not an audiobook person. Every now and then, I sit dow...

Well, it's finally happened. The A to Z Mysteries series' "Free-Range Children" attitude breaks even my suspension of disbelief in The Goose's Gold. In the novel, Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are staying with Ruth Rose's grandmother in Key West for their winter vacation (there are brief mentions of the...

The Empty Envelope is the fifth installment of Ron Roy's A to Z Mysteries series. Like the rest of the series, it's an entertaining mystery story for young children in spite of its flaws.My biggest objection is that it continues the trend of keeping the children's parents off-screen; at this point, ...

The Canary Caper is the third book of my favorite series from early childhood, A to Z Mysteries. It's another adorable mystery starring Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose, and this time they're on the trail of a petnapper.The plot, a simple mystery has two flaws to speak of, the second of which is just perso...

The Bald Bandit is another fun little mystery in the A to Z Mysteries series, though it's far from the best of the twenty-six books.While it tells an entertaining story with a twist ending that young children will likely be surprised by--even if their parents aren't--even I, in all my love of the se...

With A Spy in the White House, the Capital Mysteries series hasn't quite established itself yet, but it's getting there. In the story, KC Corcoran, the soon-to-be First Daughter, and her friend Marshall are getting ready for the president's wedding when they realize there's a spy releasing secret we...
