Answer 1

Read Nancy Drew books...their the best!

Answer 2

I don't know about mystery, but if you want to give fantasy a try, check out King Fortis the Brave. It's about a pair of 12-year-old twins that are transported to a magical world where they find themselves in the middle of a battle for control of the land. Full of humor and adventure, it's one of my favorite books!

Answer 3

You'll probably enjoy The Nancy Drew Series. Happy Reading!

Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum.Forget the movie.The book is the real article."The Bourne identity" is the story of a man without a past, rescued from the Mediterranean Sea by some fishermen. He is very ill, and his body has suffered the impact of many bullets. The man is taken by the fishermen to a doctor in a nearby island, who helps him to recover physically and mentally. Our protagonist doesn't remember who he is, but with the help of the doctor he finds some clues he doesn't like too much. He only knows for certain some things, for instance that his face has been altered by plastic surgery, that he knows a lot about firearms and that he carried on him a microfilm that contains the code to an account of four million dollars.

In the Swiss bank where the account is he also finds a name: Jason Bourne. But... is he Jason Bourne?. He cannot remember, and if it were for quite a few people, he won't. From the moment he leaves the island onwards, our man without a past will be followed, and attacked. He doesn't understand why, but he reacts in order to stay alive. Add to this already interesting mixture a woman he takes as a hostage, Marie, a number of assasins (including the most famous assassin in the world, Carlos), and the possibility that he is, as a matter of fact, also an assassin, and you will understand why this book is so good. The main character will be hunted all throughout the book not only by the "bad guys", but also by the "good" ones (mainly agents from the USA Government). You won't be able to stop reading this book, and you will find yourself asking aloud to nobody in particular "who on earth is this man?" and "what started this whole mess"?.
Warning:A character gets raped.

The Vivero letter by Desmond Bagley.Jeremy Wheale's well-ordered life is torn apart when his brother is murdered by a mob hit man, whose bait was a family heirloom - a sixteenth-century gold tray. The trail takes Wheale from Devon to Mexico and the wild tropical rain forests of Yucatan. In dense jungle, he helps two archaeologists locate the rest of a fabled hoard of gold - treasure from Uaxuanoc, the centuries-old lost city of the Mayas. But his brother's enemies are on Wheale's trail, and with them are the Chicleros, a vicious band of convict mercenaries.

Another supernatural detective series is Nightside book series by Simon R.Green.John Taylor, the main character, is a private eye specializing in finding things. He literally has a private eye, one he can open and find anything. This power only works in the nightside, but anytime he opens it, his enemies (and he does not know who they are, but they have been hunting him since he was young) pick up on his presence like his gift is a homing devise. He as quite a reputation, some of which is true, some not and it gets him into trouble, or sometimes out of it, but it is the fact that some of it has nothing to do with him so much as that he is his mother's son. A mother he never knew and no one will tell him about. One big case is covered in each book, but underlying tensions build up higher and higher running through out the series.

Answer 5

Anything by J.A. Jance or Stuart Woods. Might try Matthew Reilly if you wan mystery and adventure. Nora Roberts, Nevada Barr and even(ugh) Janet Evonovich.

Answer 6

Sue Grafton's alphabet series with Kinsey Millhone, such as "A is for Alibi". They're well written, fast paced, and hard to put down. She's not yet through with the whole series, but there's plenty to read from the very beginning. (Though some of the best are later on, such as "E" and "M".)

Answer 7

Not exactly mystery but has an excellent story which develops over the series, Garth Nix the Abhorsen series. I love it!

Answer 8

I LOVED the Box Car Children when I was about your age, it's written by Gertrude Chandler Warner. I was also really into the Bobbsey Twins series by Laura Lee Hope -- also Goosebump series by R.L. Stein.

Happy Reading!
