(4) 1-3 A to Z Mysteries series. Illustrated by John Steven Gurney. In Quicksand, friends Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose investigate the theft of a plastic bank being used to collect charitable contributions. In Racehorse, they try to figure out why a champion horse unexpectedly loses a race. The latter story features a stronger plot and more deductive reasoning than most books in this mildly entertaining series. Benign black-and-white illustrations are scattered throughout. [Review covers these A to Z Mysteries titles: The Quicksand Question and The Runaway Racehorse.]
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
