The Space Mission Adventure (4) (Clubhouse Mysteries)

Part of a series of books about four boys who have a Mystery Club in their hometown. They take time off from sleuthing to attend Space Camp. The kids a good mix of humor and learning as the group participates in camp activities. I am disappointed by the lack of a mystery to solve, although I did wonder about the bananas. I read this along with my 11 year old nephew who was assigned this novel for a book report.

We love this series, especially its focus on a group of young Black boys. My son is hungry to read stories about young boys of color like him and these boys are loads of fun. My only complaint is the stereotypical and unrealistic way they have Ziggy, the Jamaican character, speak. He ends every sentence with "mon". They could have done a less stereotypical and more realistic portrayal. But all the books we've read in this series are big hits in our house and get read over and over again. Very appropriate for 6-8 year olds.

These stories are great!! Good for 3-5 grade readers. Quick read and fun adventures.

I bought this for my daughter. Reading is her favorite thing to do. She seems to enjoy this series so far.

Good book. I love how Draper usually manages to include a little history or flashbacks in her story.

I have a 6 year old who loves to read. It is very difficult to find books that appeal to African-American boys but the 'Clubhouse Mysteries', (aka The Black Dinosaurs) are perfect for him.

My son is in K2 and loves this series! Wish it were just a little longer. We finished in 2 nights.

My son loved this book and loved how it had African American characters and talked about African American history.
