I read Hundred Dollar Robber and loved it! If you like math and mysteries, this is a book for you. There is a place called Colonial Heights where there is a problem, someone stole 100 dollars from the soccer team. They were going to use that money on their tour. Stacy (one of the soccer team members) went to the park, interrupted a Kung Fu class and asked, “I was wondering if you could help me. My soccer team had a fund-raiser some of the money is missing, and Tom is in trouble.” So the Kung Fu kids joined the case. As they are all walking through town they stopped at the candy store and found out that someone (a girl) stopped by and spent a bunch of money. Could she be the robber? They sleuths start to put clues together to solve this mystery. Will they find out who took the money and where it is? I hope you love this book as much I did. If you like it then you are in luck because Melinda Thielbar made a whole series of math mysteries!
