Mystery at five is who-took-the-last-biscuit — small puzzles, obvious clues and the delight of solving it before the grown-up reading aloud does. Our shelf is built for first detectives: simple set-ups, satisfying reveals and plenty to spot in the pictures. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
