Tide Pool Troubles (Shelby & Watts) Ashlyn Anstee. 2021. [September] 96 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: In the village of Valley Glen...
Premise/plot: Shelby and Watts are a detective team. In this first adventure they are helping a hermit crab [named Fred] find a new shell since he is quickly outgrowing his current shell. This mystery adventure takes them to the beach, and they'll have plenty of clues to investigate.
My thoughts: I enjoyed this one so much. It was just a quick, fun read. It is an early reader/early chapter book mystery book. The text is relatively simple--all things are relative, aren't they? But the mystery is real enough. I like the 'sneaky' introduction of science-y facts. The illustrations are a delight. I loved how every character introduced is introduced properly.
