⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great for new readers!

My daughter is 7 and is young enough for picture books but they don’t challenge her on her reading level, but pages full of words seem daunting to her and she is not a fan. She loved this! Such an imaginative story that kept her interested.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fang-tastic books!😊

My 8 yr. old daughter LOVES these books! Ellie is a character that she can definitely relate to.....especially her fear of spiders! If you're looking for a great introduction to mysteries with great characters...look no more. Scaredy Bat has it all! I have even recommended them to several of the teachers I work with for their classroom libraries!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Exciting Detective Stories

This series is a favorite in our family! Not only does my 10 year old daughter love them, we all do! We read 2-3 chapters at night as a family. Sometimes we end up reading 4 or 5 chapters because we can’t wait until the next night to see what happens! This series is a definite must for 9-11 yr olds who like detective books!

And the best part is, these positive themes are hidden within the fun story so kids actually absorb them. It's the chocolate covered broccoli approach: kids get what they want AND what they need!

Now more than ever, it's important for children to feel confident and in control of their own lives.


As your kids use their detective skills to solve the mystery, they'll feel the accomplishment that comes with it.


Combine that with the satisfaction of finishing the book and your kiddo is well on their way to high self-esteem and resilience.

Show kids how to overcome their fears in a fun way

Tackling fear is a core element of every book in the Scaredy Bat series. Each time Ellie is frightened, she transforms...


POOF into a bat!


By the end of the book, kids will see that Ellie chooses to tackle her fear, and will be inspired to do the same!

Build memories and bond with your kiddos!

The truth is, your kids may not remember more than little pieces of what they learn in school...But they will remember the time YOU spent with them to solve the whodunnit story for the rest of their lives.


So when you have time, you can choose to join in the fun and build lasting memories together as a family through taking turns reading out loud or listening to the fantastic audiobook narration.
