THE MYSTERY SERIES COLLECTION 1

Paper quality is good, value for money. A must for 9-12 yr olds who enjoy mystery books.

Can't expect anything less from her. My son finished all 3 stories in less than a week. He loved it.

I just love the way Enid Blyton writes. Everything is interesting and you don't get bored. Actually I was going to buy another book but I am glad that I ordered this one.

One of the mostloved book by Enid Blyton

The five find outlets and the dog are finding mysteries out before the clear orf ( Mr Goon the police man of the village ) he always shrieks clear orf to the find outlets and the dog .

I purchased it for gifting to a child to inculcate reading habit. But the decision to buy 3 in 1 was wrong. The size is daunting and more likely to put off the child in picking up the book. My mistake. But by the way, what is the target age group in this era of social media? Will it attract a child to reading?

I first read these books many years ago as a child. I'm now old enough to enjoy fairy tales again, as CS Lewis said.

Safely getting kids into mystery stories can be tough, when lots of stories are far too suspenseful or the 'crimes' are too dangerous or it's just not mysterious at all and just takky.This author has survived the test of time so can't be ignored.The mysteries are a great level for 7-10 imo, the main characters are interesting, their rapport is realistic for kids their age.The suspense is at a safe level, it's still there but the peril is low. So they want to know what happens but can get to sleep.Over time I start us speculating on who might have done it and making predictions and see if we were right about clues and what they might learnz then new ones as we learn more.I found book 1 in a charity shop, then the whole 15 book box set in another a year later, then bought this on kindle for our holiday.As a story, they occasionally need some adjustment on the fly, due to age, mainly on the odd occasion when cigarettes ends are clues I change it to sweet wrappers or chewing gum.Publishers would be wise to make those adjustments at source, for that reason I won't expect mine to read them alone. I won't have smoking normalised in anyway.
