What child has never dreamed of being a detective?
The Egghead Detective Agency is perfect for my book club in so many ways. For one, there are clues to solve within each story. For another, the characters are young children, accompanied by a friendly ghost, making the book fun to read. I enjoyed the cases too – raining cupcakes, a missing chicken, a pink pool and more!
Here’s what we’ll do as we read the book together.
Solve It Yourself!
Can we all become detectives? We’ll begin by trying to solve the clues in the stories, but we’ll move on to observing the world around us. What unusual things do we notice the moment we pay attention? A mark on the wall? A strange smell? Good detectives are, first, good observers!
Magical Chairs
Many children are familiar with Enid Blyton’s wishing chair. Here, in The Egghead Detective Agency, we have another kind of magical chair – one in which a ghost appears. Can we imagine something new? What else could a magical chair do?
Story Worksheet
Story worksheets are always fun, and a set of detective stories provides us with the perfect opportunity to write a mystery story of our own. Using a worksheet, we will write a complete detective story – an activity that is always satisfying.
