Title: I got this for Christmas the first year it was published
Review: I still have that old tattered scholastic book. I have found myself returning to it when stages of writer's block have come on. It's a definite must-read for anyone hoping to become a good YA/children's mystery writer.After reading it Christmas night, I had to sleep with the lights on...and refused to move from my bed until daybreak. I liked it so much I read it several times and wrote a few book reports on it.As an avid mystery reader, I have to admit that this should be ranked as a classic as well. And, yes, my kids will be reading this when they are older.
