Web Guide on MYSTERY

Whodunit? Is there anything more likely to get kids reading than a mystery? They love following the clues, guessing at solutions, and being thrilled along the way. And mysteries are a great way to encourage your students to use all of their critical thinking skills–observing, asking questions, checking assumptions, and more! Who knows? Maybe you’ve got a young Sherlock Holmes in your class!

  Crime and Detection
  Dog in the Dungeon
  Haunted States of America
  Nancy Drew Ghost Stories Pack

Young detectives get a crash course in investigation with Crime and Detection. They’ll learn how to track ransom money, follow a kidnapper, brush for fingerprints, distinguish between a real diary and a fake one, and much, much more in this full-color hardcover.
Then in Dog in the Dungeon, part of the popular Animal Ark series, the young heroes must figure out who is the ghostly dog of Skeleton Castle.
Get ready for more chills and thrills with a spooky cross-country tour in the Haunted States of America. It has ghosts, ghouls, and even a lot of actual history—and it’s the kind of book kids can’t put down.
Equally captivating are the books in the Nancy Drew Ghost Stories Pack. For more than 50 years this clever detective has been turning girls into voracious, lifelong readers! How does she do it? Now that’s a mystery!

Keep your super sleuths busy with these exciting Web sites below!
