I don’t read many mysteries of any kind so I thought that this would be a fun way to get into it, it’s a fun middle grade story about a duo who try to solve a mystery about dinosaur bones and rose bushes, I feel as though it is much more fun to go in knowing nothing else about it.

I had issues with the formatting of this which made it difficult to read at times but other than that I enjoyed my time reading this book.

I found the art style a lot of fun and the immediate friendship between Watts and Pearl was sweet, also there were a lot of puns in the names which made me smile.

There were parts of the mystery that were confusing but other than that I did really enjoy the book, I was just expecting a little more from it plot wise, though I think that as it is aimed at younger readers, it makes it simpler to understand.

Overall, I am excited to read the next one in the series and recommend this for any young readers looking to get into mysteries.

I was sent this e-Arc on Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
