The Greetings from Somewhere Collection (Boxed Set): Mysteries Around the World: The Mystery of the Gold Coin; The Mystery of the Mosaic; The Mystery ... Painting; The Mystery in the Forbidden City

This is a great collection for early readers with an interest in the world. I love reading with my kids and this book is perfect for a quick read chapter book before bed. I like that it is sprinkled with facts about the world and cultures around in addition to little mysteries and innocent themes. I would like if this was a little more sophisticated or if there were more volumes available (there are 10 total), but I'll take what I can get and this is a fun collection that sparks a lot of conversation at our home.

These have been great for Summer reading. As well as, using along with our geography studies. Gives some basic facts about the city and the boy/sister team are interesting.

My twins are in first grade and love this series. They need help with some of the words but overall can read most of it in their own and really enjoy the stories. Really gives them a sense of accomplishment to be able to read a chapter book.

My kiddos love this series! Fun little mystery stories for young readers.

Great read for kids and adults and some pets...not hamsters

They are not as exciting as we thought. First book boring, second book was ok... have not ready 3 and 4 yet, we started reading something else.

My son loves these books. They really provide a great insight into each of the international destinations. The adventures makes it exciting to keep reading!

got for my son to practice his reading. he has just only read book 1. so far so good

I purchased this series of books for my 8 year old grandson. He is in a French speaking total immersion school and had been struggling with reading for some time now. He told me that he didn't enjoy reading. And I told him that this may well be that he hadn't found the right books for himself, that if he found the books that were a good fit for him, the enjoyment of reading would come. Our entire family loves to read.I searched on Amazon and found this series. Our grandson has traveled often. He loves travel and he loves the food enjoyed while travelling. And he is very good at thinking outside the box and solving things. His father has told me that he and his son love these books. They have traveled to some of these places.My grandson is interested and looks forward to reading with his dad every evening. My concern is...what can I find to top this series? I must begin to look again on Amazon before he reaches the last book!

Fun and engaging! My kids loved these books!

Good book series with simple language and easy to solve mysteries set in various countries. Sneaks in some facts along with the fun.

This is a good start for young readers moving up to chapter books.
