Ideal to engage reluctant boy readers aged 7-12. The Santa at the shopping centre is just way too grumpy to be the real thing! What's he really up to? The Mystery Mob series has been written specially to appeal to boys and to develop reading enjoyment and reading stamina. Each book follows the story of a gang of six adventurous (sometimes too adventurous!) boys as they get into scrapes and unravel mysterious happenings. The unintimidating format and friendly design help motivate boys to pick up a book and continue reading through the whole series. A non-fiction section at the back features quizzes, jokes and fun facts so you can find out more about what the Mystery Mob have been up to. Interest age: 7-12 Reading age: 7-8
