This is the second part of the new theme I’m putting up on the Cozy Mystery site, which deals with children’s mystery books. I have already made a list of mystery books for the preteens, and am now focusing on children’s mysteries written by authors who are well-known for their mystery books written for adults.<\/p>\n

\"\"As many of you know, one of my favorite mystery series is the Chet and Bernie Mystery Series written by Spencer Quinn. Well, Spencer Quinn, or I should say Peter Abrahams<\/strong><\/a> (for they are one and the same!) writes two mystery series that are aimed at middle schoolers. The 1st in Abrahams’ Echo Falls Mystery Series<\/strong> is called Down the Rabbit Hole<\/a><\/strong>. <\/em>We are introduced to Ingrid, the 13 year old sleuth, who is interested in soccer, as well as acting in the Alice in Wonderland school play. In \"\"The Outlaws of Sherwood Street Mystery Series<\/strong>, Abrahams’ second mystery series aimed at middle schoolers, the Robbie is a modern-day Robin Hood. We first meet her in\u00a0The Outlaws of Sherwood Street: Stealing from the Rich<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the 1st in this mystery series. Abrahams has been both\u00a0nominated and winner of pretigious Agatha Awards for Best Children\/Young Adult mystery and\u00a0nominated and winner of the equally prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Young Adult mystery.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0James Patterson<\/strong><\/a> is a best selling author of mysteries for adults. Two of his very famous series are the Alex Cross Mysteries and the Women’s Murder Club Mystery Series. He also writes mystery books for young adults as well as for children. Patterson writes the Maximum Ride series, the Daniel X series, and the science fiction Witch and Wizard series. He also writes a series for middle schoolers called the Middle School Series, and has recently paired up with Chris Grabenstein (winnter of four Agatha Awards for Best Children\/Young Adult mysteries) to write some mysteries geared for 3rd to 7th graders. Amongst them are the Treasure Hunters mysteries<\/strong>, of which Treasure Hunters<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is the 1st mystery.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Katherine Hall Page<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0writes the Faith Fairchild Mystery Series <\/strong>(for adults), which has made her the\u00a0winner for the Agatha Awards Best First Novel,\u00a0winner and nominee for the Agatha Awards Best Novel, and also a nominee\u00a0for the Best Agatha Awards Best Non-Fiction. (Try saying that five times!) Page also writes the Christie & Company Mystery Series, which is aimed at grades 5 through 8. Christie and her friends (Vicky and Maggie) are three teenagers who live at a boarding school in Massachusetts. The first book in the series, Christie & Company<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, introduces us to the trio of girls who are roommates at the school and who all enjoy reading (and solving!) mysteries.<\/p>\n
