As the title suggests, I'm hoping to poll my favourite minds for recommendations on good quality mystery books for DS2.25. He has a long attention span and an eye for detail in stories, and he's really starting to enjoy books with plot twists and discussing characters' motivations. We play games guessing what will happen next when we borrow new books from the library, and a favourite game is extrapolating a new story arc from contextual clues, but I think he'd really enjoy more of a challenge plot-wise!

Favourite authors are William Steig, Leo Lionni, and Robert Munsch. DS loves word play, riddles, and puzzles, so any picture books with these elements would also be a big hit in addition to mystery plots.

Thank you so much!
