A Good Mystery 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

(8 year old reviewer) I really liked this book. It kept me interested until the end. THe best part was when the pups returned to the mother, but I won't tell you how that happens. You will just have to read it!

This is a great series! 5 out of 5 stars.

I like this book because it is an adventurous book and it is also a mystery. Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose help their friends by saving baby wolves from wolf-nappers. If you want to find out how they rescued the wolves and who took them, just read the book! The White Wolf is not the only good book in the series - all the A-Z Mysteries are good. There is one book for each letter in the alphabet. The first one is The Absent Author. Once you read that, you will want to read all the way to The Zombie Zone!

Editorial Review:

W is for Wolf. . . .

But soon after the kids spy the wolf family, the pups are wolf-napped! Can Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose sniff out the culprits before the white wolf starts suspecting them?

Daughter loved it! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I wanted to get a beginner's chapter book for my almost 6-year-old daughter. I thought about Junie B. Jones or the Magic Tree House series, but I was turned off by Junie's poor grammar (or at least the author's attempt to make her sound like a "real" 6-year-old), and by the Magic Tree House's female character being "dreamy" while her brother was "logical". This book managed to avoid those caveats, while still being an entertaining read for my daughter. I wasn't sure at first if she could follow a chapter book on her own, with illustrations only appearing every 3 pages or so, so I read her the first two chapters last night. This morning, the first thing she reached for was that book. Instead of getting up and watching Saturday morning cartoons, she sat in bed, ate a banana, and finished her new book. I couldn't ask for anything better.

Editorial Review:

A is for author.... Dink writes to his favorite author, mystery writer

Wallis Wallace, and invites him to visit Green Lawn. To Dink's amazement,

Wallace says he'll come! But when the big day arrives, Wallace is nowhere to be

found. The police think he just missed his plane, but Dink suspects foul play.

It's up to Dink and his two best friends, Josh and Ruth Rose, to find the

famous writer--before it's too late!

My seven year old grandson loves this series! These books are well written and have topics that are interesting to kids, as well as informative. The stories are exciting and children can learn from them. Kids can understand and relate to the dialogue.

A great series 5 out of 5 stars.

My daughter loves this whole series. They can be read by a 3rd grader without too much trouble and even while in the 2nd grade my daughter could figure out most of the books. They keep the same characters for the whole series and so kids can get attached to them. We will be in big trouble when we reach Z.

A Book Review by Jenny C. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I read a book called The Bald Bandit by Ron Roy. It's about a bandit who robs the Green Lawn Savings Bank. The three detectives (Dink, Josh, Ruth Rose) solved the mystery. When a private detective named Reddy came to look for the videotape the three detectives decided to help him. Reddy said if they found the videotape they would earn a hundred bucks.

My favorite part of the book was when Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose got the videotape and they watched the tape and they noticed it was Reddy who robbed the bank. When Reddy was at Dink's house ready to get the video, Dink hid it and gave him a tape of soccer. Ruth Rose sneaks into her house and calls the police. I think the thief was pretty smart.

I think the book was a perfect fit for me because I love reading mystery books. When I read this book at home I can't stop reading it until I finish.

Editorial Review:

B is for Bandit... The Green Lawn Savings Bank has been robbed! When a

private detective comes to Dink's door looking for the kid who videotaped the

crime, Dink and his friends volunteer to find him. After all, there's a reward!

But tracking down one red-headed kid isn't so easy, especially if he doesn't

want to be found. Can the trio find that kid--and his tape--before the bandit

does?

It is a really cool book 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

You should read this book. It is all about a racehorse, how he got lost and how they found him. It is a really cool story. You should read it sometime.
I'm 8 years old, my name is Lizzy, and this book is just the right level for me.
And I'm not going to give away the whole book to you, but it wasn't too scary that I didn't want to read it. It was just the right amount of scariness.

The Racehorse That Runs Away 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The racehorse that ran away was a good book. I liked it because it was great and wonderful. I like horses and I want to ride my own horse someday. Josh was funny because he kept dropping ketchup on his shirt.

I am in Kindergarten and my name is Grace.

Editorial Review:

R is for Racehorse . . .

And they’re off! Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are excited to see Uncle Warren’s new racehorse, Whirlaway, in action. But the night before the big race, the horse disappears! He shows up the next day, just in time to lose the race. Why is Whirlaway suddenly so slow? Can the kids figure it out–or is Whirlaway out of the winner’s circle for good? A to Z Mysteries are fast-paced, collectible mysteries for beginning chapter book readers!

Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose have done it again!
Only this time someone or something has captured poor Winnie, the zoo's main attraction and it's up to someone to find these thieves.
The kidnapper wants 1 million dollars or Green Lawn will never see Winnie again.

Will Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose be able to find the kidnapper or will they be too late to save her?

Editorial Review:

P is for Panda. . . .

There’s pandemonium in Green Lawn! The town is building a new park for a panda and her baby. But as soon as the pandas arrive, the baby is stolen! All the panda-nappers want in return is a million dollars. . . . Can Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose collar the culprits before Green Lawn has to cough up
the cash?

It was the first book I ever read in the A to Z mysteries. I like it because it was short and there were map in the front page. It about three kid, Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose who solve the mystery of the ghost in the hotel. Read it, you will like it.

This book was great. I liked it because it was a good mystery for younger kids! My favorite part was when they found out who the ghost ...was! I think it was a good book and I hope other kids enjoy reading it like I did!!!!!!!

The time that I read this book I felt so thrilled for the ghost that tortures the Shangrala hotel.This book is the one reason that I bought the entire series. Ron Roy is a person that loves mystery books. I am glad he made those books because if he didn't then I wouldn't be thrilled by any other book.

Editorial Review:

A ghostly guest has checked into the Shangri-la Hotel! It's almost Halloween and reports of strange sounds and even stranger sights are coming from Green Lawn's only hotel. Hotel guests and neighbors are being scared away, and it's up to Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose to figure out what's going on--before Green Lawn turns into a ghost town!

Ron Roy Scores Another Hit! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

My 9 year old daughter started reading these books about a year ago, and has now read every book in the series!She delights in every detail, from physical descriptions of the suspects to the personalities of the recurring charaters, and relates easily to the three kids who are the detectives. She can hardly wait for the next title to be released. This book, like the others, has a plot that is believable to its audience, encourages problem solving and critical thinking, and provides a trio of heroes that your own kids would like as friends. In this volume, the reader is exposed to a museum and information about mummies, as well as given a mystery to solve. Another delight for the 6 to 9 year old set.

Editorial Review:

M is for Mummy. . . .
It's Mummy Monday at the museum, and Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are excited about the new Egyptian exhibit. It features a child mummy in an actual tomb! But then the mummy is stolen and the tomb robbed of its treasure. Can Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose unravel the mystery and return the mummy to its rightful resting place?
