Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Mickie McKinney as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a less sophisticated mystery than the other four but doesn’t suffer for that reason.
Mickie Mckinney is a schoolboy detective and the setting is a school. I like the conceit that his office is in a cupboard under the stairs. The crimes are not sophisticated, which will suit some readers, and the humour is good.
From Jon's list on middle grade detective fiction.
