Review: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did NOT write this!

This is not the most puzzling detective story I've ever read, but it is one I suppose kids would enjoy. There were some formatting problems on my Kindle, where the text sometimes appeared with the wrong picture, and most of the time appeared all by itself on a separate page. I would presume, however, that most people would not be buying books in Kindle format for their young children, so in a physical book the formatting would not be an issue.The text is simple enough, with quite a bit of repetition, so beginning readers might be able to learn to read this one fairly quickly, which is a definite plus. *SPOILER ALERT* One big reason kids might like this story is because the Dad turns out to be the guilty party, and it's the daughter who figures it all out. *END OF SPOILER ALERT*All things considered, this is a book early readers might enjoy and appreciate. But if you're looking for a serious mystery for yourself, keep looking; this isn't it!NOTE: The preceding review was written with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
