Why read it?
1 author picked The Great Cake Mystery as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Similar to the Mac B books, this is a series about a character who likes to solve crimes/mysteries, and the characters and settings are realistic. Even more wonderful is that the setting is Botswana and it gives much insight into the country and people. I was fortunate enough to be able to read this with my son while travelling with him in Botswana. Perfect.
From Lisa's list on reads for young kids to read with or without parents.
