My son’s favorite books to read right now are the A to Z Mysteries by Ron Roy. We first
discovered the series in the audio book section of the library, but since then
the digital versions have been checked out on our Kindle on a weekly, sometimes
daily, basis.
The books star three third grade kids: Dink, Josh, and Ruth
Rose. While investigating mysteries in their small town of Green Lawn,
Connecticut, they come across baseball collectors, jewel thieves, and kidnapped
kings. Some books have them traveling further afield to solve crimes in California,
New York, Florida, and Maine.
Elliott’s favorite character is the always starving Josh.
Josh asking for food never fails to elicit a grin. In addition to the
humor Roy brings to the books, he also creates original puzzles for each book.
You can see the wheels turning in Elliott’s head as the suspects are
introduced. He’s also curious about the (now) anachronistic details that pop up
now and again. “What’s film?” he asked me after one of the characters has to
reload their camera.
Elliott has a birthday tomorrow. How he can be seven already
is in itself a mystery.

Haha. What's film?
