The kids and I have had the honor of reviewing The Case of the Missing Mountain by Kim Jones. The Case of the Missing Mountain is a colorful 80 page activity book. The kids join Rangers Jack and Jen as they work to solve 8 mystery’s to see what happened to Mount. St. Helens. You solve the mystery’s by doing crossword puzzles, codes, word finds, word scrambles and other activities. Once the kids solve all the mystery’s, they will then become an Official Mystery Ranger.
Here is an official description of the book.
We really liked the book a lot. My oldest daughter who is 13, enjoyed working on the puzzles and word scrambles and the different activities that were in the book. However, it was a little difficult for my 6 and 5 year old children. They did enjoy the hands on activities when we got to make a mess though. And you will make a mess!
I definitely recommend this book for the elementary to middle school age kids.
