I like to read.  ONe of the first whole chapter books that I ever read out loud to my mom  was  The Third Grade Detectives.  It was really fun.  The reason it was fun is because the main characters were tracking down a thief., who was a guy they actually knew, but just didn't know he was a thief.  HIs name was JOnathan.  He was Todd's dad's old college friend.  Todd is one of the third grade detectives.  He's really the main character.  There is another character named Noel, who was with Todd helping.  Anyway, it's very mysterious and they go on a lot of cool adventures.  I think kids in first, second and third grade would like these books.  And by the way, they did catch Jonathan, the thief, in the end.  If you know any fun books for me to read, please comment and tell me!  Have a great reading day!
