I love an art heist. The 10 y.o. loves a good humoured mystery. This was a pitch perfect bedtime listen for us to share.

How had I never heard of this book before? It was a well-written and fun middle grade novel about a 7th grade boy with amazing powers of observation/deduction who becomes a covert consultant for the FBI. His awesome best friend Margaret helps too. In this book he helps solve a case about an art robbery. Completely charming and I would recommend it to any kid or adult. I need to find book 2 now!

LiteraryinPA @BennettBookworm I wonder if this would be appropriate for your class library. I thought it was super fun. I think I‘m going to buy the series (only 3 books) and you can borrow if you want! 5y

Absolutely delightful book about mystery solving duo of Florian and Margaret. Using the TOAST (Theory Of All Small Things) this dynamic pair help the FBI recover a Monet from the National Gallery. Way better case than Nancy Drew! (But I still love you Nance!)

Sace @Laura317 I heard about it here but I can't remember which Litten posted about it! 5y

A library hold came in (tagged book) so I'm reading next to the "fire".

This post inspired by @MidnightBookGirl and Netflix ?

MidnightBookGirl Love it! I have mine turned up so that the crackle and snaps are extra loud. I swear I can almost feel the warmth! 5y
Sace @MidnightBookGirl Omigosh! The crackle and snaps are the BEST! 5y

Framed is about a child who moved to DC and he helped the FBI solve a case along with his friend Margaret. He became and asset to the FBI. The TOAST system that they incorporated is perfect especially for smaller children in taking into account the smaller things. #UCFWaltersLit

lizzie0922 @Linsayesp I never read this book before, but it sounds so interesting! I love the idea of this young boy who is already helping the FBI with cases. #UCFWaltersLit 7y
