The mystery about the missing book

The Library Book Mystery (Paperback) ㅣ Walker High Mysteries 5
Robins, Eleanor 지음 / Saddleback Pub / 2006년 8월

언제나 작은 미스터리가 주변을 멤도는 책. 이번 편에서도 책이 사라지는 작은 미스테리가 발생했고, 그 주인공과 친구들은 평소에 그래왔던 것처럼 서로의 문제를 해결해준다. 이번 편에서는, 발표 준비를 위해 도서관에서 책을 빌린 린이 책이 사라지는 곤란을 겪은 일이다. 누가, 어떤 목적을 가지고 그녀에게서 책을 훔쳤는가? 

They are really small, easy mysteries, but I still like them because they are quite fun. Lin had to prepare presentation by her book, but someone stole her book. This must be a one who wanted to get a better grade than Lin. At first, Lin's friends and teacher didn't thought someone stole her book. They thought there was no reason to do that. However, there was a one who just wanted to be the first. 

Making others in trouble is not the way to make themselves better. They should try harder to win, not making others in trouble. Kris wanted to win Lin by making her hard, but she couldn't do that because Lin had good friends. So, this mystery solved well this time, too.

Detective: The case of Bad Seed

The Case of the Bad Seed (Paperback) ㅣ Pageturners 1
Schraff, Anne E. 지음 / Saddleback Pub / 2009년 9월

다섯 편의 추리 소설 이야기. 이 미스터리한 다섯 편의 이야기들을, 탐정이 등장하여 해결한다. 76page, 분량은 매우 적어서 추리 소설 중에 단편 소설에도 미치지 못할 분량이겠지만, 이야기들은 충분히 재미있고 흥미진진했다. Bad Seed의 케이스는 지금도 그 이야기 내용이 기억에 남는다. 

There was a 70 years old, an overweight man with a huge mustache. Nikki Peters looked a advertisement about a job. The payment was outstanding, and this said her work would be fun and challenging. That was true. This strange detector gave her a lot of strange accidents. 

The Bad Seed can be the start of these stories. Nikki and the detector, Colin solved a problem about Bad Seed. The story occured in strange way. There were a pursuit battle to catch the criminal but the criminal also ran into Nikki. There were a lot of times that made her difficult. So, it was true that detector made her a strange, challenging stories. 

I think five cases will be funny, all of them. I would try to read the others quickly.
