Scooby-Doo! and You

I'm feeling kind of sad, because this is it for Scooby-Doo chapter books!  Oh, sure, we'll reread them some day, but not anytime soon...

Synopsis - Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and their dog Scooby-Doo travel around the country solving mysteries and unmasking monsters.  These books are told from the point of view of either Fred, Velma, or Daphne as they investigate the mystery, and the solution to the mystery is kept as a separate chapter to see if you can solve the mystery on your own.  There are questions at the end of the chapters to review the suspects and clues to help you solve the mystery.  Each book is a stand alone book and they do not have to be read in order.

Ash Falcon - "I loved the books - of course!  I liked the idea of trying to solve it on your own.  Every time we reached the end we'd go around the room and say who we thought did it and why.  A couple of books the answers were sneaky (there was a book where two of the suspects did it together, and in one book none of the suspects did it - the victim did).  A couple of the books were also kind of poorly written, which was unfortunate, with a solution thrown together that didn't make any sense, but I suppose there are bound to be misses in anything.  I wish there were more books!  I'd give the series a 5/5."

Optimus Prime - "They were great, perfect, and all kinds of great and happy stuff.  They were fun!"

Bumblebee - "Just good, that's all.  I liked trying to find out who it was - at least we got one!"  (He got quite a few, so I don't know why he's saying "at least we got one!")
