Young Detective Book Premise
The book is a collection of 12 short detective stories, with each story offering a new mystery to solve. At the end of each story, the readers are asked to answer a question rather than being provided with direct solutions to the mystery. This makes for a fun and interactive reading experience as the readers need to use their minds and try to solve the mystery on their own.
The author has also explained the benefits of solving the mysterious puzzles and the process to be followed for the same at the beginning of the book itself. Moreover, the answers to the questions posed at the end of each story are provided in the Answer Key at the end of the book. This ensures that the readers get the satisfaction of learning whether or not they solved the mystery correctly.

It sounds like a good book for kids. Getting them to think and try solving the mystery themselves is something different. We need more books like these.
I remember one such book that my daughter read and she loved it as it has puzzles at the end. Would love to grab copy for my daughter, I am sure she will enjoy this one too.
I like the way you reviewed the book. Did you make the blurbs in canva? Its a great idea to post in snippets rather than paragraphs.
This reminds me of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super Sleuth series we had growing up. So good to see the concept returning. It is a lot more engaging.
I love reading detective stories and this one seems more engaging as you can guess it yourself where the end leads to.
Mysteries are one of my favourite reads. Famous 5, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys were all a crucial part of my growing up years and in shaping me as a reader. This concept of engaging with the reader is unique. I remember reading something like this long back where there were 2 endings to the book. You could choose one and were the directed to a different page!
I love books which have protagonists as detectives. And this is a young one. Would love to read this one.
This will make such a great gift!
