Title:  Who Stole the Wizard of Oz?
Author:  Avi
Reviewer:   Hamish P. '09

Becky is outraged when she is accused of stealing books from the library.  She and her brother,Toby, act like detectives and ask other people if they know anything about a woman who has donated a lot of books to the library.  Along with this strange accusation, mysterious robberies are happening where nothing has been stolen.  Who is the person who steals the books?  Who is the robber who is not stealing anything?  Do the books have anything to do with the mystery?  Read this book to find out!

I really enjoyed this book because it is humorous and creepy at the same time.  My favorite part is when they find out who steals the books and when Becky feels outraged because she is accused of stealing the books.  I really think Avi is a great author and has a gift of words.  When Avi describes how scared Becky is in the dark,creepy library, I could feel exactly how scared Becky must have been.  It was like I was in the center of the action.  I hope you get a chance to read this wonderful book by Avi.
