A Year of Mini Mysteries is a short-story mystery book.
Contents[]
The stories are told around a modern group of friends--Charlotte Chen, Brooklyn Patrick, and Alex DeRose--in the style of Encyclopedia Brown stories. A mystery or tricky situation is put forth, with readers asked to figure out the solution to the puzzle and how the characters came to their conclusion.
The book has twenty-nine mysteries, themed around the four seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer), and starts shortly before the school year begins. The solutions for each mystery are located in the cover of the book on thick cardstock with perforated door-themed flaps. Underneath each of the numbered doors, two solutions are given, one for each mystery; one of each is upside down on the door.
Trivia[]
- Unlike the other Mini Mystery books, this one has an all-new set of characters and is not related to the previous books.
