Awards & Reviews
| NZ Review |
Great for readers who enjoy mysteries in the vein of Encyclopedia Brown. -- Booklist 20070101 In order to crack the cases, readers need to be observant and thoughtful and to have an eye for detail. In the absence of such qualities, however, I think that Max Finder Mystery may be an excellent tool to help young readers develop such traits. -- Gregory Bryan, children's literature professor at University of Manitoba, for CM Magazine 20070101 |
