The unintimidating format and friendly design help motivate boys to pick up a book and continue reading through the whole series. A non-fiction section at the back features quizzes, jokes and fun facts so you can find out more about what the Mystery Mob have been up to. Interest age: 7-12 Reading age: 7-8
