- I read this with Gnome, and we had conflicting opinions. I thought the book was fun and quirky, and I would have read more of the series. Gnome didn't like it. She thought it was silly and boring.
- For an intermediate book, I think this is a great one to read with the kids. It was quick and entertaining, and there are illustrations throughout. A fun group of kids solve a little mystery. It is something I would have loved doing with my friends when I was 11.
- I laughed a couple times, but Gnome didn't as much. It just wasn't for her, but I thought the story was kinda funny and cute.

I enjoyed this early mystery. I thought the jokes were funny in a little kid way, the story was predictable, but cute, and the characters seems like fun to hang out with (if a little shallow). Great recommendation for early chapter readers.

A fun quick mystery story with lots of puns and jokes. Overall a silly story but I thought the writing quality was exceptional and I liked the fact that the kid detectives go to the library so frequently.

This is a new earlier chapter book series that will be great for kids who are just beginning to independently read chapter books.
This new series follows 4 friends who pride themselves on not only being detectives, but being "Goofball" detectives. As a result, we have one silly detective story. Young kids will enjoy the silly humor, while still working to try and solve the mystery.
Short chapters will make this a good introduction to chapter book reader. More difficult than Henry and Mudge, but easier than those long, thick chapter books. Great illustrations will also help the reader!
