Customer Reviews

Curious mother checks out Aladdin Paperbacks "Ready-for-Chapters" book...

In twelve short chapters, the main character, Annabel, plays the butler's daughter, Polly Morfus, in her debut part in a mystery dinner theatre. Binky, a black Newfoundland dog, also has a part in the mystery play. Annabel is charged with "thinking on her feet" at the end of the play as the audience asks questions. Will Annabel come through in her debut act? Will she accept Binky's playfulness? In my opinion, the reader will need to be nearing the age of 10 to meet the challenge of the words.
