While on the subject of detective books for kids, anyone
remember a book called (I think) FIVE CLUES TO THE DRAGON. No
idea who wrote it, but it was my first mystery. I was about 7
when I read it (that's 1971) here in the UK. It's about a
gang of kids who, as the title suggests, have to solve the
mystery by deciphering five clues.
Thanks, Paul
