      Gr 3-6-These books are a fun way to teach basic science, and they are particularly good for readers who struggle with gleaning information from wordy textbooks. In the first title, twins Alex and Angie lose some of their enthusiasm for Camp Dakota when they arrive to find it hidden behind a thick veil of fog. Along with some new friends, they discover that there is a mystery to be solved. A series of science-related clues leads them to discover the truth about the Fog Zombie. Basic science principles are scattered throughout the story, supported by bubbles of information to give further explanation. The kids learn about the buoyancy of salt water, evaporation and condensation, and more. The same gang is back in Cabin Thief. Obnoxious Carly is accusing one of the other campers of stealing an important medal from her cabin. As other things start disappearing, the kids are determined to find the culprit. Once again, scientific know-how helps solve the case (along with an awesome art project). A counselor cleverly teaches the kids about light refraction by sharing a Native American legend. They also learn about reflections and mirrors as well as shadows. Imagine a Scooby-Doo episode with Velma in charge and you get the feel for this brainy way to solve a mystery. Bonuses at the end of each volume include simple science experiments and a synopsis of the principles related to the mystery.-Carol Hirsche, Provo City Library, UT
