Wow, that was quick! Lol! I had a fun time reading this, it's fun and full of quizzes, cartoon mysteries, short mysteries and a short story. Ok, so the short mysteries and comic mysteries (the clues to solve them were mostly obvious) were pretty easy as were most of the quizzes but they were still fun and there were even a few that I really enjoyed like the logic puzzles, the cryptic code stuff, there was one quiz where you sometimes had to answer correctly and sometimes incorrectly and one quiz that was nursery rhymes told by Mart with his polysyllabic vocabulary and you had to work out what they were.
The short mysteries kinda reminded me of Encyclopedia Brown and the comic ones kinda reminded me of another series I used to read as a kid that had short mysteries, always with a visual clue illustrated by a boy named Hawkeye, wish I could remember the name of those books.
Ok, ok, so tis book wasn't *essential* reading for the series but it DID bring back memories, I remembered several of the mysteries from reading it as a kid. I can't wait to read the second mystery qui book as I never read it as a kid so it'll be exciting and new :)
Anyway, my next blog will be the Phantom Grasshopper, I'm in such a Trixie mood after finishing Uninvited Guest that I think I'll even start it when I go to bed (am reading another series as my "bedtime" book at the moment but going to pause it for tonight)
See you here again soon!
