The Mystery At Comanche Canyon - The Misadventures of Inspector MoustachioThe Case Of Stolen Time - The Misadventures Of Inspector Moustachio]] Both these book are excellent for young boys ages 8-13. I bought them for my grandson who turned 9 and I added a magnifying glass for him to "discover things". He and his 11 year old brother are delighted. These are a modern version on the style of the old Bobbsey Twin books. Adventures and fun without violence.
A very enjoyable chapter book to read with the kids!

My two older boys (8 & 6) and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a great premise for a story that celebrates the wisdom and problem solving skills of our children. I really liked the fact that it takes what would otherwise appear to be an ordinary family heirloom (grandfather's magnifying glass) & creates an adventure from it. In today's technology age this is a welcome retreat and allows our children to use their imaginations. I can't help but think that my children must be creating the history associated with the objects in our house - what a great thing! My kids really related well to the heroes Jake and Alexa. They also found Rex the Cat to be hilarious. This book is entertaining, exciting and funny (with a little magic and family mixed in as well). We all really liked the ending of this book and are looking forward with great anticipation to many more Misadventures of Inpector Moustachio!
Perfect for my grandchildren

I worked in the publishing industry for many years. I've seen many books come and go and, in my opinion, this is the NEXT Harry Potter! Adventurous, exciting and, definitely, worth reading. My grandchildren adore it.
