Super Editions

These new books are about 50 pages longer than the original A to Z Mysteries titles. Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are a year older. But the main difference between these "super editions" and the 26 A to Z Mysteries is where the stories are set. In each "super edition," the kids go out of town to some exciting, different place. And in each place, they become involved in a new mystery.

In each "super edition" a secret message has been cleverly hidden in the artwork. I hope you enjoy all the "super editions"!
