One of those in the series I haven't read in childhood. This time, it's about treasure hunting with seven parrots as clues holders, and one of them stuttered. Successfully met up my nostalgic moment!

What I believe to be the best children's mystery out there. This one book probably inspired me more as a child than anything else, rivaled only by the antics of Trixie Belden!

Not my favorite of the series. The premise is actually stronger than some of the other books, but it wasn't as much of a fun read for me.

This is a book I found in a carton in the dorms, in a place where old things are usually left for any one who would like to take. It looked familiar and when I looked at it I realized it was part of the '[b:Alfred Hitchcock|2014794|The Thirty-nine Steps.|John Buchan|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JYVWNH8DL._SL75_.jpg|2422487]' series which I used to read in elemetary school. So I picked it up and took it for the nostalgia.
Basically, it reminded me a bit of Enid Blyton's detective novel's for kids, just without the warm, British feeling, and the food. The reading was fun and smooth, the only thing that bothered me was the dozens of typos in the book, but I was highly amused by the number of the psychometry words which were there (a test I had to take a year ago).
I finished it in two hours. Had fun.
