The Absent Author A Stepping Stone BookTM Ron Roy John Steven Gurney 9780375806001 Books

My son LOVES all of the Ron Roy series. We started when he was 5 (me reading to him). The books are wholesome without all of the snarky back-talking kid dialogue you find in other books. And the mysteries aren't formulaic (like Magic Treehouse). Clues are dropped that most adults may figure out right away, but at least for my son's age aren't as obvious.

The Absent Author A Stepping Stone BookTM Ron Roy John Steven Gurney 9780375806001 Books Reviews

My 7-year old loved this book and even completed a book report on this book. The teacher’s classroom copy of this book was so worn that I purchased this copy for the teacher. Fast shipping too.
My son really enjoyed the first story and this one has also been declared a winner. Looks like I'll have 24 more books to buy soon! The reading level seems appropriate without being intimidating--he reads (according to his teacher) a grade level above, and overall is stubborn and has to choose his own thing. I don't know what his official 'lexile' level is (new words for me) but the book is listed at 470.

If you have a child who reads about these levels, and is looking for a fun series that appeals to the picky reader, I would recommend trying this series.

RECOMMENDED

I purchased these for my 8 year old niece for her birthday (per her request). They are great for a child that loves to read and wants something a little more challenging/mysterious. She was very happy with these books. They seem to be great quality too. I highly recommend if you have a young reader in your home!
My 9-year-old son loves these books. He got a couple at school as a reward and after we read them, he asked for more books from the A to Z series for Christmas. He was so excited when he opened his present! Though they are a bit spendy for not so big books. Could only get 2 for Christmas as the whole set was outrageous in my opinion. But buying just two at a time is worth it for us to be able to read this age appropriate-exciting series.
My son's teacher tells me he reads a grade level ahead--he is an 8 year old second grader, and I try to encourage him as much as I can. The only 'problem' is we are a bunch of readers in my house and my youngest frequently earns the title of 'contrary-boy' as he will specifically choose to do things his own way. I have (multiple times) feared he would balk at reading just to be different. Thankfully, it hasn't gotten that far but he does balk at reading a lot of the books his brother was interested in at the same age (Pokemon--no loss there, Magic Tree House, Boxcar Children etc). On the other hand, he will try some of the books his older brother will read NOW, like the Wimpy Kid books.

In any case, trying to find a book series he will like, that are age appropriate, and he won't ignore because I'm too happy about it can be a challenge. No "hey look honey at the wonderful book isn't it great!!!". More the "eh, a book, I'll just leave it here and maybe you'll like it".

Now, oddly enough, my older son declined reading the A to Z books--I can't remember if they were offered to him too early/too late, or he just didn't like them. I decided to give this one a try and my youngest absolutely adored it and finished it in one sitting. Amazing!!

So, I give this one the "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" label, with the caveat that all children are different and have different tastes. This one defintely has appeal and is worthwhile, but if your kiddo doesn't like it, well keep trying!

My husband read this to us as a family (I have a first grader and a second grader) just before school started--it was fun, fairly quick, and it kept our attention. We plan to continue reading these little mysteries to see who can figure out the ending. I'm hoping that reading books like these as a family will make reading fun for my little ones.
