"The Tale of Despereaux", and "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane." She has also written a
series of early chapter books about a toast-loving pig named Mercy Watson. We have all these books
in the library.

Ron Roy says, "The A-Z Mystery series features three smart kids who solve crimes and mysteries.They
are third graders and live near each other. They have hobbies and pets and parents, but what they
love most is a good mystery. Most kids tell me they enjoy reading the 26 books in alphabetical order.
But you can skip around without missing anything. Have fun getting to know these three sly sleuths!"
If you like mysteries, you'll love these books!
