Don’t miss A to Z Mysteries—alphabetic adventures that are full of thrills, chills, and cases to crack!
A is for Author...
In the first book of the A to Z Mysteries—an early chapter book mystery series featuring strong boy and girl characters—Dink writes to his favorite author, mystery writer Wallis Wallace, and invites him to visit Green lawn. Wonder of wonders, Wallace says yes! In fact, the famous writers says the the only way he won't come is if he's kidnapped. But when the big day comes, Wallis Wallace is nowhere to be found. The police think he just missed his plane, but Dink knows better. It's up to Dink and his two best friends, Josh and Ruth Rose, to find Wallace - before it's too late!
Each book includes a map and a letter from the author. Parents, teachers, and librarians agree that these highly collectible chapter books are perfect for emerging readers and any kid who love mysteries!
Dink Duncan and his two friends investigate the apparent kidnapping of famous mystery author Wallis Wallace.

My eight-year-old really enjoyed this book. That speaks volumes about this story, because typically when he's assigned reading as homework he'll say, "Mom, reading is so boring!" He read it aloud to his five-year-old baby sister and they both were pleasantly (read astonished gasps here) surprised by the ending. I just want to mention that the book Dr. Judy Rowen is reviewing in the "critic's review" is not this book. The Absent Author has nothing to do with jungles or rain forests or encroaching civilization. Hopefully someone will notice this soon and remove her review. The Absent Author is cute, fast-paced and a good read for children who are just starting to read chapter books. My kids loved it enough to beg for following books in the series.

This is a great book that had me guessing all the way through. The only thing is if you have a kid or teen that isn't doing what he or she is you tell them to, you probably shouldn't let them read this. I'm a big reader and wish that it had more than eighty-six and a half pages...

It was the best A to Z Mysterie I ever read. Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose try to find Wallis Wallace, Dink's favorite author. He was going to the Book Nook to sign Dink's books. When he was late, Officer Fallon thinks he just missed his plane, but Dink knows better. Dink and his other two mystery sovling friends try to find Wallis Wallace. Who kidnapped him, or did he get kidnapped? Its a really good book. Its the best book yet by Ron Roy!!! It's a great book. You should get it!!! I read all Ron Roy's A to Z Myseteries that are out and this one was the BEST!!!

The Absent Author is my favorite book of all time. I love the surprise at the end but i don't want to spoil it for the kids who didn't read it yet. My favorite author is you Ron Roy. Next book is The Kidnapped King.
