Soon to be your favorite sleuth! 13 year old Bella is a big hit with kids. On a journey to solve 50 mini-mysteries, kids jump right into the intrigue and flex brainpower to arrive at their own solutions. Every bit as fun as the content of the stories, kids love to read the solutions - printed backwards and read with an enclosed mirror! With the same appeal as 'Encyclopedia Brown' books, Bella invites kids into her life experiences to narrow down suspects, to decode secret messages, to investigate the details surrounding a crime, and to think broadly about motives and implications of foul play. Fun illustrations, fascinating characters (including Bella's trusty Black Lab, Noche) keep kids engaged. Clever and captivating scenarios cause kids to apply their powers of deduction and comprehension without realizing it! Bella's Mystery Deck develops proficiency in logical thinking, skills of synthesis & analysis, and concentration. Some of the puzzles can be solved with clues internal to the story, while others require some knowledge of natural history, science, geography and culture.
