Ms Grasso inspires young readers to work on their detective skills in The Science Fair Sabotage. This is the third book in Frankie Dupont series and he's back to save the day when a science fair project gets messed with. Will Frankie figure it out? Well, you know he will, but how he does it you'll just have to read the book to find out. No spoilers here. An excellent read for young detective wannabes. I read the second book in this series and loved it and number three is no different. A great read. Do you have to read these books in order? Well no, but there are some times when a previous book or character is referred to, but nothing that will effect solving the mystery. Boys and girls alike will fall in love with the setting, plot and characters. They are fun and exciting.
