Why read it?

1 author picked Boy Detective as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

No, not a magical world, but it was a pure joy seeing other kids being really clever. It was aspirational.

This author wrote in a way that made the reader feel like they, too, could work out the mystery alongside the characters while dodging (outsmarting) bullies. Every kid wants to be a hero. Sobol puts the reader in the driver’s seat.
