The Mystery of the Gold Coin by Marcos Calo, Harper Paris
4.0
Got this book for free due to a mistake in the order I received today so I decide to have a look at it! Fun little book, small novel for children. It has a very cozy mystery to it and also some family stuff to deal with, in some sort of coming of age and positive message kind of thing. It was fun, well done, the black and white illustrations also add some quality to it and help kids transitions from picture book to small novel. Exactly what it was suppose to be. Even with all these positive elements, I still withdraw one star because of the very light and easy going vibe of it all, could have gone a bit deeper I the mystery, a bit deeper in the family stuff. Still very good, but I often find children book to hold on a bit were they could go further, children can handle it. That being said I would recommend it and would even be curious to see how the series would go on since it's the first book in a series.
