These books are so much fun. We play drinking games with them. My kids don't participate in that, but they do love this book too. They enjoy learning about a new mystery and then race each other on finding more information. I really enjoy their enthusiasm, all thanks to this book. The author did a great job researching the information, and the narrator was easy to understand and follow. Great book!
