Amazon Customer: I see that many people liked this book. It wasn’t for me. Reading it with my son , it was frustrating. Lots of starts and stops. By the time we “finished” the story we probably only had read 1/3 of the book. It was a nice ending but we were left knowing we missed out on so much of the story. The story line was well written and definitely interesting, just missed too much with all the back and forth.

Lisa: My 10 year old daughter really loved this book. She finds it difficult to really get into books and takes a lot of encouragement but this was a great read for her with no issue motivating her.

Kimberly Kennedy: We loved the fun and silliness of this case. The kid detectives were a great team. They were funny, they worked well together and the puzzles were fun too.

Kim M.: These books are amazing! My daughter (age 9) and I LOVE to read them at night and try to crack all of the codes along the way! It helps her to make careful decisions and think about consequences too! I love the choose your own adventure style of the book tied into an escape room feeling and so does she!

Andrea G: When I was younger, I used to love to read. The choose your own adventure books were my favorite! My son who is 10 and in 4th grade hates to read. Mainly because it is hard but also because it is boring. Part of his homework every night is to read for 30 minutes. It's almost always a struggle. I bought him this book and hyped it up a bit. He was reluctant at first but now he doesn't want to put it down. He read for an hour last night and didn't even notice. I highly recommend getting this book for your reluctant reader. I just ordered him 2 more and he can't wait!!

karen: Easy to read but jumping back and forth on choices in the book was confusing. The whole book was about death threats and treasure burred under the house. I read several versions, went back over and over choosing different choices and never found the treasure. Was a little disappointing. Would have liked to found the treasure in at least one of the choices. Some of the puzzles were not meant for little children. All in all the book was interesting but also disappointing about the treasure.

Laura Mossa: Carlos' mother is a detective, but her agency is struggling to stay afloat.  To make matter worse, she is sick with the flu and can't begin the investigation for her latest case which is identifying the person sending death threats to Guinevere LeCavilier, a wealthy older woman. Carlo's mom asks him to call her partner Cole, but Carlos decides to take matters into his own hands and recruits his best friend Eliza to join him. Accompanying them is Frank, Eliza’s annoying and obnoxious six year old brother.  Will Carlos, Eliza, and Frank be successful in cracking the case?  Well, that all depends on the reader who must help them make choices and solve puzzles to find the perpetrator.

Growing up, I devoured the Choose Your Own Adventure series because I loved having a role in the outcome of the story.  Mystery in the Mansion, the first book in Lauren Magaziner's new Case Closed series transported me back to my childhood and I must share that I love her format even better!  Why?  When readers come to a part of the story when they must make a choice, there may be two, three or even four options from which to choose.  In...
