Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-19 00:00:00 Bhakti Dave This, not Nancy Drew, was my favorite mystery series when I was a kid. Sure, I read Nancy, but she was an independently wealthy titian-headed paragon who I could never live up to. Why didn't she get a job, or go to college? Was she just killing time solving mysteries until Ned graduated from college and married her? Now, the Three Investigators, they were kids like me, without a car, without much money, and with very human failings. I could totally relate. And they had a cool secret clubhouse, too. But I am skeptical that the introductions were actually written by Alfred Hitchcock himself. The Investigators solved mystery puzzles kind of like Scooby-Doo but without the lame endings: something supernatural seems to be going on, and the boys uncover the real, human agents behind the phenomena. Except for this one, no supernatural here. Unless you think parrots are spooky. In this episode: If a parrot stutters, pay attention! It could be a clue to a hidden treasure. This series was reissued about 10-15 years ago, and they stripped Hitchcock from the books, replacing him with some fictional Sebastian Barth guy. Sacrilege!

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-27 00:00:00 Amanda Clinton I recently finished reading The Mystery of The Stuttering Parrot by: Robert Arthur. My dad introduced me to this fast paced mystery book series that he loved when he was a kid. As soon as I opened this book I was immedatly hooked. This book is about three young dectives who promise to find a famous actors missing parrot. When they start on this case they find that it is part of a bigger mystery of a lost priceless art piece! I can relate to the charactors in the book because they always help people when they need it and I feel like I do the same. This fast pace book is a pleaser to any audience.
