Sneak Peek
My Review
Amanda loves it when I read the Maisy Mysteries to her. This is the second book in the series and another great mystery. It starts out a bit slow, but once Maisy goes into her detective mode, Amanda gets thrills of excitement that makes her want to hear more.
There are plenty of big words for young readers that helps them to build their vocabulary. I don't explain every new word to Amanda, but she now knows what a "marauder" is. The author takes the time to explain that particular word in the book and does it quite nicely.
I highly recommend this story to children ages 6 - 11.
The Buzz About Book One
"Maisy and the Missing Mice is a fun chapter book featuring a smart and sassy tween girl as the title character; a solid and interesting plot featuring age-appropriate intrigue and suspense; and some terrific writing that carries the reader on a journey as a detective uncovering clues and solving the mystery of who stole the missing mice. I highly recommend this book as a read aloud book for children between the ages of 6 and 10 or for independent readers between the ages of 7 and 12 who love to read mysteries." ~ Mother Daughter Book Reviews
"Woodrum certainly knows her target audience and does a very nice job with the character development of Maisy. This is an incredibly kid-friendly story that makes a great introduction to the genre of mystery for newly independent readers. It's a quick page turning read that encourages kids to think outside of the box." ~ The Children's Book Review
"My name is Kat. I am 9 years old. I would rate this a five because I like everything about it, the mystery the most. It was fun to read. My favorite part was the mystery and the end. I love this book so much. I think other kids would love it too because it has mystery and most kids would like mystery books. Most mystery books have a good mystery. I would love to read the whole series." ~ 5 Star Review, Heather A., Amazon
