I LOVE reading! and reading with others, especially children. And who doesn't love a good mystery? As a Principal and educator of 50+ years, I always read in my classroom, as Tutor, volunteer teacher around the world and as a Principal to large groups of students at a time and conducted various book clubs and summer reading programs. Additionally, I was trained via classes at the Los Angeles Music Center on story telling methods. I'll ask again, Who doesn't like a good mystery book? As a precocious reader I was known as Lady Snoop in my younger years and friends sometime still call me that today. I love reading a good mystery and hope my enthusiasm rubs off on each young Sleuth who enrolls with me in Solve-Them-Yourself Mysteries Book Club for Kids 8-12 - FUN ReadingReviews
