I liked it because it was about a mystery about gold. I like gold.

This book and all the others were amazing. I've always been so excited to read the next one. My favorite part was when the yacht owner caught Ruth Rose and Josh snooping.

In my opinion, the book "A to Z Mysteries: The Yellow Yacht," is a great book for young readers. One thing I liked about this book was that it was a chapter book, but did include pictures and words that were in larger print so that readers can have a better idea of what is going on in the story.

For example, page 76 has text at the top of the page, and an illustration at the bottom of the page of the water and boats with the accused robber in the story getting away. The illustrations are also in black and white which I also liked as well because they were simple and didn't distract from the text. I also really liked that this book was somewhat interactive, and as a beginning chapter book, I think it is important to keep the reader engaged since they may have been used to picture books. This book gives the opportunity for the reader to predict who was the robber on the island and keeps the reader eager to find out. For example, page 67 reads: "Suddenly Dink knew why Sundown's green stripe was missing. He felt his heart start to race. Goose bumps marched up his arms. 'Guys, I think I know where the gold is,' Dink said. Since you have to turn the page to read on which also begins another chapter, the reader can predict where the gold is based on the prior clues in the text. The big idea of the story was that working together can help you solve problems and potentially help you solve a mystery.
