Reach for this book when your child is looking for a way to exercise their logic and deduction skills during a rainy afternoon or a long car ride. It is a perfect choice for kids who enjoy interactive puzzles and want to feel like an active participant in the story rather than just a passive reader. The book transforms the classic Clue board game into a series of bite-sized mysteries that require sharp observation and critical thinking to solve. Set in the familiar world of Tudor Mansion, the stories follow Mr. Boddy as he navigates the suspicious antics of his colorful guests. The collection emphasizes themes of curiosity, justice, and the satisfaction that comes from solving a difficult problem. While the premise involves 'crimes,' the tone is lighthearted and focused on the puzzle-solving aspect, making it highly appropriate for children in the 8 to 12 age range who are transitioning into more complex independent reading.
