Detective Dylan and the Thief of Camp Leaf (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series) by MJ Murray – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Detective Dylan and the Thief of Camp Leaf by M.J. Murray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Detective Dylan and the Thief of Camp Leaf is Book Three in the Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series. It is a children’s chapter book full of mystery, adventure, crime, family, friendship, and fun. The story centers around a young boy by the name of Dylan who does not go anywhere without his junior detective kit, that he keeps on an old tool belt around his waist. Along with him on the adventures is his younger sister Emily, who helps him solve each new mystery and his trusty sidekick, his dog Theodore. Dylan, Emily, and Theodore are trying to solve the mystery of the missing Camp Leaf trophy that has been replaced by a moss-covered rock. Determined to solve the mystery, the trio follow the trail of clues to discover there is a long list of potential suspects. This is a great little chapter book for children ages 5 to 9 years of age that are just maybe learning how to read chapter books for the first time. It has a few illustrations mixed in to help bring the story to life. A great book that will teach children about problem solving, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
