Rebekah - Girl Detective Books 1-8: Fun Short Story Mysteries for Children Ages 9-12 (The Mysterious Garden, Alien Invasion, Magellan Goes Missing, Ghost Hunting,Grown-Ups Out To Get Us?! + 3 more!) Kindle Edition

I bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter and starting reading it myself! Rebekah sees herself as a detective and crime solver - as best a young child can be. She is a delightful character with a lot of spunk. This is actually 8 books in 1, so it's also a real bargain.This would make a great addition to you child's personal library, or a gift to an elementary or middle school teacher.

I first downloaded the Rebekah The Mysterious Garden and then purchased Rebekah Alien Invasion to read to my girls. We all loved these stories so much that I purchased all of them (Rebekah Girl Detective Books 1-8 and 9-16). These stories are all very well written and despite Rebekah being a bit nosy from time-to-time, the author does a great job of keeping those kinds of things in check. I think it's great how Rebekah interacts with adults in her town and is always respectful of them, and the dynamic between her and her friend mouse is excellent and really shows how friends can disagree on things but not get into fights about it. There's lots of great conflict resolution in these stories and lessons to to be learned. I hope the author continues to write more books with Rebekah and Mouse for a long time to come.

So, I have a terrible habit of ordering stuff, and then going back to read the reviews/product details while I’m waiting for it to arrive… probably my ADHD, but anyways… I just saw the main character is from Curtis Bay! I can’t be 100% certain that it’s the same Curtis Bay that I know of, but it sure does warm my heart. My girls and I are from the other side of the Key Bridge and especially with the tragedy that happened just earlier this week, it really warmed my heart to see that. I can’t wait to read to read these with my daughters. ♥️

This is my first time to purchase books in audiobook format. I find that from time to time, there are some words that are being not recorded well, I mean, audio sounds are being cut off .. like the word "Chapter" is played as "-Apter", "There" sounded as "-air"... "So" as "-oh"...I tried to check if it is my bluetooth connection not working well, so I tried to replay it at those spots... but still they sounded like that. And I tried to change the Speed too, and still the same exact words sounded like that. It was not recorded properly.Does anyone know if this is a common problem for Kindle audio books, or is it just this book ?Thanks.Overall I love the stories for my kid to listen. But the above mentioned errors can cause irritation to a smooth experience.** Update : I tried with my bluetooth earphones, and the whole problem is gone. I believe it is my bluetooth sound player that is not receiving the signal from my kindle at its top performance.

My kids and I were already familiar with the Rebekah series of short stories; I had previously bought the first four books and we've enjoyed reading and re-reading them. So, when I saw this reasonably-priced package I didn't hesitate in picking it up.And I'm glad I did. The stories are fun and well-written, and now we can see the main characters, especially Rebekah and Mouse, (and their relationships with other people) develop over a longer story arc.Mystery, a sense of wonder, humor, and common sense are recurrent themes in these stories and their value is quickly understood and appreciated by my children.If your kids (girls especially, but younger boys too) are between 6 and 12 and like mysteries and whodunnits, I highly recommend this series. Keep 'em comin' Nanny P!P.S. I should also add that although this is a large compilation, it's not unwieldy. The lay-out is easy to navigate and the TOC for all of the stories is hyperlinked.

I chose these books because I love mysteries. So many different types of mysteries but these are the best books. I think you should make more.

Was disappointed all 8 books were bound into one volume. I guess I didn't catch that detail. I wanted to share these stories between three same age granddaughters. Pay closer attention grandma:(Haven't read any of the stories yet hope they are wondeful - all eight of them!

Got for granddaughter who is a bit reluctant to read.

This felt like it was written by AI with grammatical errors and poor writing the whole way through - very disappointing purchase!

My granddaughter who is 9 is busy reading this at the moment and she says it is great

From my nearly 8 year old daughter " I like the fact that it brought out mystery in a quiet town, I really liked the books and think other children would enjoy them".

Daughter Happy

some crossover issues with English language (as its American) have to explain some things to daughter. other than that great..
