The characters from Mr. Wolf’s class are back in this second title in the series. Bright, colorful pages with no more than six panels per page make this an ideal book for the younger readers of graphic novels (though older readers can certainly still enjoy it). The animal characters are diverse in name and look, and the scenarios and language are identifiable and accessible to young readers. The title is a little misleading as there is no grand mystery. Instead, it is the little mysteries of a child’s life/a classroom that prompts the formation of the Mystery Club to answer some of those questions: where do balls/frisbees go when they get lost on the playground, and what happened to a favorite teacher who did not return to school? (Turns out it is due to retirement).  The rats once again make their appearance and bring humor and silliness. A solid selection for any GN collection with elementary school readers.
