Description
By: Marci Kay Monson, Greg Paprocki (Illustrator)
This retelling of Agatha Christieâs The Mystery of the Blue Train is the second book in the Mini Mysteries series of interactive picture book mysteries for children.
The Mystery of the Blue Train is one of Agatha Christieâs early detective novels (a cozy mysteryâ"no violence or gore), and where she continues to use the fictional detective Hercule Poirot as a major character. The story, set on a train bound for the French Riviera, is a true who-done-it full of mysterious characters, missing jewels, and teasing clues. Monsonâs retelling of the original book captures the plot and distills it in a way that is fun for children, gently ushering them into the literary world of Christieâs mysteries. Along with the story, there are activities, games, and puzzles throughout to help with childrenâs engagement, and might just foster a few budding detectives.
There is also a glossary of terms and French words.
