Horn Book Review

This series follows four sixth-graders-turned-detectives on school field trips. In Crook, Sam and friends, paired with "kindergarten buddies," encounter vandalism at the children's museum; Ballgame finds Egg and company investigating a theft at a baseball game. Though the mysteries are thin, both books are full of clues to draw readers into the action. Full-bleed color illustrations bring important scenes to life. Glos.
