Free (Kindle/Kobo/iTunes/ePub) Secret of the Long-Lost Cousin [Kids Solvable Mystery]

[ATDrake]

The Secret of the Long-Lost Cousin & 9 Other Mysteries created by Bruce Lansky is the 1st in the Can You Solve the Mystery? tween-level series of collections of short story mystery cases for which you can do Exactly What It Says In The Title if you pay attention, starring aspiring sleuths Hawkeye Collins & Amy Adams, who are positioning themselves to be the newer generation's Encyclopedia Brown & Sally Kimball (or Fend-le-vent if you grew up reading your school library's old québécois francophone books collection, perhaps), free courtesy of publisher Simon & Schuster's Meadowbrook imprint.

There's also a freebie sample story from collection #2 available, which is an entire mystery short provided complete with explanation for the solution: The Case of the Chocolate Snatcher @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians), and can be added to your library @ BookShout (online reading & in-app download).

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians).

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because I'm feeling that thing which needs a word where it's not nostalgia because you're not actually recalling something which you actually experienced in the past, but instead something kind of vaguely similar which reminds you of it.

And also, it's never too early to get the kiddies started on acquiring investigative & deductive reasoning skills. I'll have to give this a try to see how much my own have rusted over the years.

Enjoy!
