Charlie and I wanted to share a new Crime Book which is a new addition to our 2025 Christmas Gift Guide: Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More we received in exchange for a review.

Charlie and David have been obsessed with Crime Shows since Charlie was little. As soon as I saw the Press Release for Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More I knew this would be the perfect book for David and Charlie.
I just wish we had Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More when Charlie was #Homeschooling. We would have used Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More in our Homeschool Science Class. Since learning shouldn’t stop even when you’ve graduated, I plan on giving Charlie this book for Christmas.
Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More is a chapter book for Middle School Students. I like how the book is broken down into chapters that can be read in one day or spread out to so the story would last a while.
While David and Charlie were busy, I sat down and read “Chapter One: The Disappearance of Masterpiece the Poodle because we all love Dogs. Charlie and David were reading “What Detectives Do”. Which we thought we knew but the Author taught us things we hadn’t thought of.
David loved “Chapter 3: The Real Ghostbusters”” which reminded our family of one of our favorite movies leading to #movienight allowing us to spend even more time together. David couldn’t wait to read “Chater 5: Escaping Alcatraz” which we all wanted to visit and now we need to take a #RaodTrip. Would you want to go with us?
“Chapter 6: The Search for Agatha Christie” which would have led to a new Lesson Plan when we were #Homeschooling expanding our studies. There is so many more chapters in Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More but I’m not going to tell you what they are because you need to pick up a copy of Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More to share with your friends and family.
Un the back of the book notes to expand our reading and a “True Crime Teachers Guide” we had fun doing in our home as a family. If your looking for a fun book for your children or new lessons to teach in your Homeschool Classes you should check out Curious Cases: True Crime for Kids: Hijinks, Heists, Mysteries, and More.
