A little patience and super-sleuthing can go a long way
Did you ever think of having an adventure in YOUR own house? Well, that is exactly what Sam and Sadie did! Sam overheard conversations in his family about lost items. He searched his closet for his Sherlock Holmes hat and his BIG magnifying glass. A fancy scarf for Sadie and off they went on their mystery adventure. Do you think they found anything? Let's follow them and find out!
illustrated by Patricia Krebs, Sam & Sadie Super Sleuths sets out to solve a big problem―everyone in Sam’s household seems to be losing things! The first clue that there’s a problem comes when Sam and his dog, Sadie, are playing in the yard. Sam overhears his dad searching for his watch. Knowing that his dad needs help, Sam enlists Sadie’s help to go on the hunt for the missing item. The pair’s sleuthing is successful and so they settle down to read a good book together. Unfortunately, it’s then that they hear another family member has lost something else! Whether it’s a watch, a purse, or a pair of glasses, Sam and Sadie are super sleuths to help save the day.
Alva Sachs has written an endearing story for young people in Sam & Sadie Super Sleuths and Patricia Krebs’ beautiful and bright illustrations really bring the story to life. Her depictions of Sam and Sadie are wonderful and fun. And the pair are sleuths in more ways than just one―Sam’s family isn’t aware that he and Sadie are helping look for their missing things and are able to surprise their family members when they return a lost item. The book also has a satisfying ending―what kid wouldn’t want to end a day of searching with a pizza party? Sam & Sadie Super Sleuths is a story young readers will enjoy and it just might encourage them to become super sleuths themselves. --Readers Favorite
