Even at a young age, Xiao Ming (boy Sherlock Holmes) has a reputation among his peers for his keen powers of observation. His budding skills are put to the test when he is tasked with finding a thief at school.

However mysteries always seem to find him when strange fires start out of seemingly nowhere and a classmate begins anonymously receiving flowers from a secret admirer. With the help of his older brother, Xiao Ming employs his skills of wit and deduction to unveil the truth hidden behind every mystery.

This level of graded reader is hard to make interesting but the authors do a good job of making them somewhat funny and interesting despite their restrictions.

The stories are simple and easy to follow, with a lot of repeated structure to make sure you really understand what is going on, which is helpful when you’re learning.

The speaker is clear and at a comfortable pace for this level. My only minor complaint is that they pronounce 谁 as shuí instead of shéi, which is less common to my understanding.

Great Introductory Learning Book
