Title:  Mini Mysteries:  20 Tricky Tales to Untangle
Series:  American Girl Library

I read the book Mini Mysteries by American Girl.  Mini Mysteries isn't a novel - it really is a book of twenty short mysteries for you to figure out. This is how it works:  you read a story and then at the end, there is a question, and based on the story, you figure out the mystery and flip to a certain page number. Once you get to that page, you find the title of the story, open up the flap, and there is where you'll find the answer to the mystery.

I found this book very enjoyable, because it makes you think. Just because it's by American Girl, doesn't mean it's a girl's book (even though all main characters are girls.) But I recommend this book to people who like to think, and who like a good challenge.

This book is made up of twenty mini puzzling perplexing mysteries for you to unravel. Think you can find out if Megan is really telling the truth about the prank call? Or how Noelle knows the boy at the zoo is lying? Confused? Well, you can always look in the back of the book for the answers. Think you can handle it? Then pick up Mini Mysteries at you library and help Marie, Noelle, Hailey, Brooke, Hope, Megan, Sage, Faith, and Rose find the truth to these twenty tricky tales.

I recommend this book to people who can really think outside the box. I also think people who don't have a lot of time on their hands would enjoy this book because you can read one mystery then put it down until the next day. Overall, I think whoever reads this book will love it.
