The Creepy Computer Mystery (Invisible Inc. No. 4 / Hello, Reader! Level 4)
Gr. 2^-3. The trio of kids who like to call themselves Invisible Ink is back with another mystery to solve. Famous writer U. B. Spooks is participating in an online chat when the message "Invitation to Doom!" mysteriously appears. The young detectives uncover the identity of the pseudonymous writer, and Chad gives his detective buddies a lesson in how uncomfortable life can be for someone who is different. Breezy, contemporary, and with a smidgen of suspense, this introduces some of the expressions and conventions of the burgeoning online world. Some readers might say :-p, but most will vote :-).Susan Dove Lempke
