The Guggenheim Mystery
by Robin Stevens & Siobhan Dowd
The Guggenheim Mystery is the perfect book for a tween-aged child. The characters are charming, the plot excellent, and at the end of it, even though it’s not part of the book per se, your child will be googling “Cezanne” and “stolen painting.” In short, it’s a book that’s not only gripping, but you’ll learn a lot from—not least about the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
The book was based on the characters invented by Siobhan Dowd but written by Robin Stevens, as she explained in her interview with us on the best kid detective books.
