Mystery at Lake Placid

I've been meaning to read this series for years now and I'm so glad I finally did! They're excellent! Good plot, delightful (and realistic) characters, and a good dose of humour. I appreciate the fact that they can teach a “lesson” without heavy handed moralizing.

I would definitely recommend Mystery at Lake Placid to young boys (and girls interested in sports) despite it being almost twenty years old. I think it's stood the test of time better that a lot of kids books!
