enjoyed to "story within a story" of Cody trying to help the kidnappers, just so he could bust them at the same time. They laughed at the antics that Cody gets involved in.

Mr. Orlon does a very good job of helping 8 to 12 year old readers to anticipate, and sleuth the clues to a not always apparent outcome and then feel satisfaction at the end of the book when they solve the mystery.
I appreciate Ms. Marciniak bringing this book to the english readers. It is a nostalgic look at childhood mysteries.

I received this book from Pushkin Children’s Book in lieu of my honest review.
