An eight-year-old weighs in on favorite mysteries

Jessy Randall

My daughter Celie is eight years old, just about to turn nine. Here are her answers to my questions about a mystery series she likes, Archie's Weird Mysteries, which are comic book versions of a television series of the same name. They are available as paperback books and as ebooks for the iPad and iPhone.

What do you like about these books?

I like the characters, because they are the same ones as in my favorite comic books. I also like the setting, Riverdale.

At what age did you first one of these?

8

Are they too scary for little kids? What age do you think they would be best for?

They would be good for all ages.

Do you need to read the books in order?

No.

What else would you say about these books?

You always want to read on.

Thank you, Celie, for your review. I also have an 8-year-old daughter, but I don't think she's heard of these books, so I'm going to tell her about them!

I hope she likes them! I'll tell Celie her interview has done some good in the world, perhaps.
