Goodreads

Squirrel Lock Holmes #2: Mystery at the Corn-y Maze is a quirky and fun animal-themed take on Sherlock Holmes for early readers. The first book was fun, but it was so silly that it took away from the plot a bit. This next book in the series had the perfect balance of plot and humor and was even better than the first. Readers will enjoy trying to guess the answer to the mystery.

Educators will appreciate the vocabulary words that are defined in the book; these help readers authentically learn vocabulary. At the end, there were activities and even facts about science, which made it not only fun but also educational. This would be a strong addition to any classroom, school, or public library serving readers first grade through 4th grade, especially those who love graphic novels, series, mysteries, animal characters, or a fun read. This was a four-star read for me. Reviewed by Katy Jones, Gardiner Area High School Library, Gardiner
