"The characters are real kids dealing with real worries. Carlos is
so concerned about money that he takes on the near-impossible
task of solving a case for his mother, but it’s this concern that
makes him endearing. The various options mean the story takes
on a new flavor with every reading. The puzzles are based in
learning, so readers work to solve each clue before moving on to
the next. Magaziner blends the fun of interactive stories with
a suspenseful mystery and delightful characters." — Booklist
“The ‘choose your own adventure’ format adds a fun twist, offering
readers different options, like whom to interview, what to examine,
and which clues to follow. An entertaining romp that will appeal to
fans of humorous mysteries.” — School Library Journal
"The mystery becomes an interactive choose-your-own-adventure:
readers can help interview suspects, find clues, close the case,
and save Carlos’ mom’s career." — Booklist
