Mystery solving books

[dontyouknow]

My 7 year old DD found an old book of mine - Piccolo mysterysolvers - where each chapter is a "mystery". There are two children who investigate then there is a picture at the end and you have to solve the mystery using clues in the chapter/picture. The solutions are at the back in mirror writing.

The one I had was like this Case of the Chocolate snatcher

I bought a few more in the series and found they have reprinted them New Version

Does anyone have any ideas for other books she might like?

She has just discovered my old fighting fantasy choose your own adventure books (Warlock of Firetop Mountain etc) and loves those too.

I don't know these, but there are the Caroline lawrence roman mysteries. Also another set I have just bought DS - I will check the name later.

The famous Five were "amended" (same story and characters and ending) and I bought 1 for DS where the child chose the route through the story. He doesn't get on with it though so we stopped.

Thanks the roman mysteries look like something she would enjoy.

Yes, the Usbourne Puzzle books. We have some of those and she does still like them. I found one in a charity shop only a few weeks ago and she was really pleased! I was looking for something with a bit more reading though.

Choose your own adventure? You read to a set spot and choose the path you take. Many different story lines.

The other series I mentioned is by Helen Moss. I had bought a couple in a charity shop and thought they looked quite good. I then got a box set on the Book People. www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_10?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=helen%20moss%20adventure%20island%20collection&sprefix=helen+moss%2Caps%2C251
