This style of mystery is different, and more challenging, from my Reading 'Once Upon a Crime' and Math Mystery ranges. In these 'Private Eye CSI' Literacy Mysteries students will be building suspect files and looking for clues in the text. Then they must use the information found to see if the Grumpy Ghost is real or if someone is behind the spooky situation experienced at Pepe's Pizzeria! Students will also need to provide enough evidence to convict a suspect as being the culprit.
