Soon to be your favorite sleuth! 13 year old Bella is a big hit with kids.

On a journey to solve 50 mini-mysteries, kids jump into the intrigue and flex brainpower to arrive at their own solutions. Every bit as fun as the stories, kids love to read the solutions with an enclosed decoder mirror!

With the same appeal as “Encyclopedia Brown” books, Bella invites kids into her life experiences to narrow down suspects, to decode secret messages, to investigate the details surrounding a crime, and to think broadly about motives and implications of foul play.

Fun illustrations, fascinating characters (including Bella’s trusty Black Lab, Noche) keep kids engaged. Clever and captivating scenarios cause kids to apply their powers of deduction and comprehension without realizing it! Bella’s Mystery Deck develops proficiency in logical thinking, skills of synthesis & analysis, and concentration.

Some of the puzzles can be solved with clues internal to the story, while others require some knowledge of natural history, science, geography and culture.

Bella’s Mystery Deck
  • Mini-Mysteries Intriguing to Kids
  • Assist Bella & her Black Lab, Noche in the solving crimes
  • A wide range of fascinating characters
  • Determine suspects, decode messages, investigate details, consider motives
  • Develops comprehension, logical thinking, visual-perceptual skills

    "My 8 yr old LOVES to read! She has blown through most of the deck in just three afternoons. She really enjoys finding the clues and solving the mystery. With that said, my 10 yr old has reading comprehension problems. He has difficulty following steps and processing. These short stories are the perfect length to keep him interested and can hold his attention long enough to go back and look for clues. He is enjoying them as well!"

    Very well rec'd by my 10 year old granddaughter during recent visit. She's a brainy type kid, and very competitive. She loved the idea of figuring out the mystery!

    Engaging Fun for 8-year-old!
    Posted 12/11/2012 by Rebecca Gray

    My daughter loves to engage her dad as she tries to figure out the mysteries in "Bella's Mystery Deck"... and she loves to dive in on her own. She will go stretches of time without using the Deck, but when it's a Bella's Mystery Deck day, she will spend hours with the cards--not only reading them and trying to string clues together, but talking about them afterwards.
