What reviewers said
PRAISE FOR BOOK 1 IN THE CASE CLOSED SERIES: âThe âchoose your own adventureâ format adds a fun twist, offering readers different options, like whom to interview, what to examine, and which clues to follow. An entertaining romp that will appeal to fans of humorous mysteries.â
"The characters are real kids dealing with real worries. Carlos is so concerned about money that he takes on the near-impossible task of solving a case for his mother, but itâs this concern that makes him endearing. The various options mean the story takes on a new flavor with every reading. The puzzles are based in learning, so readers work to solve each clue before moving on to the next. Magaziner blends the fun of interactive stories with a suspenseful mystery and delightful characters."
PRAISE FOR THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN WITCHES: âReaders will banish themselves from the ordinary world to finish this book in a flash.â
âThe kidsâ slowly forming friendship has real grace and authenticity."
"This swashbuckling adventure is the perfect entry point into a new literary world."
"A fun first installment in a new series that will prime readers for more."
