![]() ![]() This made the story more cohesive and realistic to me, even as the characters (and the reader!) are exploring a Hollywood TV set, something most of us will undoubtedly not get to do in our lifetimes.Ī bit of quirkiness is added by the young character Frank, who likes to scream random things at random moments. I was still entertained, however, and enjoyed going along with Carlos and company as we put our sleuthing skills to the test.Ĭase Closed #1: Mystery in the Mansion had more of Magaziner’s signature quirkiness, but I actually appreciated that Stolen from the Studio built excitement naturally from its setting and premise-a young star is missing from the set of popular television series Teen Witch-and less on the random insertion of things like ball bits and alligators (at least in the paths I chose I admit I didn’t explore every one). While the mystery still seemed straightforward to me and the varying choices are not quite as complex as in some other interactive books, I recognize this is because this series is aimed at middle grade readers, and I’m simply not the target audience. ![]() Case Closed #2: Stolen from the Studio is an even stronger installment than the first in this fun choose-your-path series about a boy and his friends attempting to help his private eye mother solve cases. ![]()
