Ninth in Blyton's long-running series, this Secret Seven case again begins with something the children notice before any adult does.
Each book in the sequence stands alone, so a reader can start here without having followed the earlier numbers. The group's routine of meetings, notes and shared observation carries the plot, and the mystery is pitched so that a child can reason along with the characters rather than wait to be told. Sentences stay short and the type is set for younger readers. The paperback runs 128 pages.
Reading level and format:
• Ninth entry in the series, readable on its own
• Mysteries pitched so young readers can follow the reasoning
• 128 paperback pages from Hachette India
• Type and sentence length set for primary-age readers
A steady choice for school libraries and readers of seven and up, published by Hachette India and available at Boipoka.
