?I really need your help!? said the woman on the phone. ?A note has been slipped into my purse. It says, Beware ... a dirty trick!? Max Monroe can't believe Rhonda Remington, his favorite author, is calling the Monroe Detective Agency looking for his help! It's hours before Rhonda competes for a spot in the Mystery Hall of Fame, and she's desperate to find out who wrote the note and what kind of dirty trick they're planning for her big night. Max is thrilled to take her case. He may be only ten years old, but he's a clever detective. And of course he has his partner, Uncle Larry, to help him. Well, as much as an uncle who's a ghost can help! With funny dialogue and a cast of oddball characters, author L. M. Falcone (a former private investigator herself) continues to delight with this third title in her early chapter book series about a super-talented boy detective who solves cases with the ghost of his uncle Larry. Though having a ghost sidekick that no one else can see creates opportunities for hilarious misunderstandings and mayhem when Max and Uncle Larry are out in public, at its heart, this is a true whodunit. The slowly building storyline allows children to exercise their critical-thinking skills as Max gathers clues and draws up a list of suspects. And the segmented chapters, short sentences and line drawings throughout add to the appeal of this mystery series for newly independent readers.

Another Fair, Early-Reader, Mystery By Pop Bop It's a formula, but it's a formula that works.Max is a ten year old detective who is assisted by the ghost of his Uncle Larry, a failed detective who now has a chance at redemption as Max's invisible assistant. (Uncle Larry is there for comic relief; the mysteries aren't solved through any magical intervention by Larry.)Here, someone plans to pull a dirty trick during Max's client's performance at a story-telling contest. Max is called in to discover and foil the trickster.As always, the classic mystery conventions are observed. There are three suspects with motives and opportunity, a crime/trick, red herrings, multiple clues, and then a meeting of the suspects at which the villain is revealed. The reader is teased as Max uncovers possible motives. Clues are scattered about. Tension is built, and then the reveal is efficient and satisfying.These are for early readers so they aren't exactly airtight. But that's O.K. because for me the important aspect is that they are fair as mysteries and engaging and amusing as stories. The length is good and the story zips along, so the reader can stay invested in the mystery as it unfolds. Some funny bits and a few puns from Uncle Larry add to the entertainment value. It seems that these Max Monroe books would be successful with any early reader with an interest in the form.Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

Max was called and relied upon to solve a case where someone plotted to ensure Nellman, a mystery writer, would win the contest. His only clue is a note warning about a dirty trick and he has limited time to identify the culprit before all is lost.

It is a beginning chapter book for young readers and I think it will be a hit. Max is a ten year old detective who is assisted by the ghost of his Uncle Larry, a failed detective who now has a chance at redemption as Max's invisible assistant. Uncle Larry is able to help Max by going through walls to save Max time, but otherwise is there to cause trouble (i.e. eating food so it looks like it is floating in the air, then disappearing).In this story, Max gets a phonecall from an author who is up for admission into the Mystery Writer's Hall of Fame. She has found a note saying someone is going to play a dirty trick on her. She is worried this will cause her to lose the contest to enter the Hall of Fame. Max heads off to the contest to solve the mystery. There are 3 suspects who all have motive and opportunity to "Play the Dirty Trick". As the night moves on, Max and Larry snoop, listen and deduce who the culprit is. The trick still gets played, but it does not ruin the contest as they are going to do it again.This is a cute mystery that will engage young readers. The chapters are short and the story moves along at a good pace. There are just enough illustrations (black & white) to add to the story, but not overwhelm it. A good book and hopefully series for kids.Thanks to Netgalley and Kids Can Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.
