I bought the book today. Am still not very impressed. The book's cute, but is very, very thin, about 1/3 the size of the Historical Mysteries books. There are no new illustrations, and most of what's inside is based on other concepts/ideas used in the actual AG books. I don't think most people would find it worth $6, and I now wish I hadn't bought it.

Can you explain this a little more? Do they change the stories from other books? Can you give an example? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Thanks!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I believe what Katie meant is that they take a passage, or idea from one of the girls' stories and mix it up a bit to give you something to solve.

For example, one of the One Minute Mysteries is about Addy and her brother Sam. There's a little page-ish long "story" that has the two of them reciting a number of riddles to each other, and they don't give you the answers to the riddles, you're supposed to come up with them yourself. Of course, all the answers are in the back of the book.
