Text Box: The Broom Closet Detectives is a delightful set of mysteries that are perfect for reading aloud or reading during a single sitting. These are great beginning mysteries that will prime kids for later more in-depth mysteries such as Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Boxcar Children. I can see kids taking off and starting their own mystery “agencies” using their own secret messages, etc. What fun! Elementary Library Clerk and mystery connoisseur of over 45 years!

Text Box: The engaging characters in this book keep you smiling and turning pages to see how they're going to solve the next mystery. Mini clues sprinkled throughout each chapter draw the young reader into the problem solving process. M. Blevins, Family Therapist

Text Box: The Broom Closet Detectives is a very engaging and entertaining book. My third grade students became attached to the characters as we read the book as a class. Each chapter has mini mysteries for the characters to solve. This is a great book as an out loud read, but is equally good when read independently. E. Mitchell, Third Grade Teacher
