A Personal Note to Parents These are the type of solve-them-yourself, teen detective mystery books that I enjoyed reading in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, often late at night while under the covers and holding a flashlight. They're actually the first in an entirely new genre for young readers: mature middle grade and young adult mystery fiction. You may have found this book on Amazon under Mystery Books for Kids 9-12. A more appropriate listing would be Mystery Books for Kids 10-12 or Mystery Books for Kids 12-14. The ideal age range for this mystery book series is 11 to 14-years-old, with 12 and 13-years-old being the perfect ages. Having said that, I've heard from plenty of parents whose 10-year-olds love this mystery book series. They're kids who like teen detective mystery books and are reading at a higher level than their classmates. I've also heard from teens age 15 and older who can't stop reading these books. They identify with the characters and are hooked on the relationships between them. Clean and Exciting Mystery Books for Boys and Girls, Age 10-15 I originally thought of these as mystery books for boys, but they contain strong female characters age 13, 14 and 15, and it turns out the books are just as popular with girl readers as boys.

When I read the first book in this series I was immediately taken back to my childhood and reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy mysteries . . . Kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to figure out the clues. My students are going to love these books." —Sandra K. Stiles, The Musings of a Book Addict and author of Steps to Courage and Seventy Times Seven "If you like Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew style mysteries, I highly recommend this book. It is an action-packed adventure that begins the moment our lead character, Jeffrey Jones, and his friend Pablo, agree to help track down the owner fo a vehicle involved in a hit and run. But, the story becomes so much more than that, as the title indicates. Soon, boy genius, Jeffrey Jones, and his friends are working to crack a code that leads to a mystery. But, their choices will get them into far greater danger than they could ever anticipate." —Timothy Baldwin, Top Amazon Reviewer "Jeffrey and Pablo are once again joined by their friends Susie and Marisol, and this time the goings are a lot more dangerous. What begins as a search for a hit-and-run driver builds unexpectedly into a race to find a lost Aztec treasure. Our friends are soon joined by a fifth amateur sleuth named Charlie who turns out to be a bit different than expected - I won't give away the twist.
