Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series) by MJ Murray – Review by Britney Nicole Humphreys

We give this book 5 stars!

This book shows a realistic relationship between siblings close in age and shows how a big brother should treat his little sister. I love that the book has vocabulary words at the end and that it has access for math and ELA worksheets since we homeschool.

My girls (ages 9 and 7) loved the whodunit aspect. They were writing the clues down as we read the book and trying to figure out who the culprit was. They loved reading about Detective Dylan, his sister Emily, and their adorable (and helpful) pup Theodore. My girls said they do not feel that Emily is a Tattle-tale, but we’ll leave that up to you to decide when you read the book.

I recommend these books for parents who have kids that are reluctant readers. My girls love to read, but I think this would work for kids who do not want to read chapter books. The chapters are short, there are pictures included throughout, and the book itself is 61 pages over 10 chapters. It took us about 45 minutes to read-and that is with the girls asking questions and guessing who did it and why.
