Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR BOOK 1 IN THE CASE CLOSED SERIES: “The ‘choose your own adventure’ 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.” — School Library Journal "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 it’s 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." — Booklist PRAISE FOR LAUREN MAGAZINER: “Humorous and engaging.” — ALA Booklist “Readers will banish themselves from the ordinary world to finish this book in a flash.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The kids’ slowly forming friendship has real grace and authenticity." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Hilarious, light-hearted debut would be a great read-aloud for middle grade classrooms.” — Library Media Connection
