Who doesn’t love a good mystery story? I love the A to Z Mysteries because they’re exactly the right level for my book club. The characters are fun, the mysteries are engaging, and the fact that we have a whole series of twenty-six books to read makes The Bald Bandit an easy choice for me. Even though the book is over twenty-five years old, it doesn’t feel dated. I’m sure we’ll have fun with it!
Clues
Fingerprints, shoe prints, bits of fabric–they’re all clues! Let’s have some fun with them. We’ll draw the outline of our foot and try to make it look like a footprint. We’ll play with thumb prints and try to look around us to see what signs we can find of the other people who live at home with us.
Mysteries
A storytelling worksheet is a great way to explore a rough outline of a story. I will give the children the framework of a story and ask them to fill in the details. Let’s see what mysteries we create!
A Detective Club
If you set up a club to solve mysteries, what would your club be called? Who would be part of it? What would your password be and where would you make a secret hideout? I’m looking forward to seeing where my book clubbers’ imaginations will take them!
