SuitabookThe adventures of Izzy & JuJu
Andrea Blake-Garrett
- Reading
- Read together and pause to let the child predict what the twins might do as detectives. If the mystery raises questions, follow the story's clues before discussing possible answers.
- Themes
- Talking with animals and insects: JuJu can talk with animals and Izzy can talk with insects, a discovery that leads to further adventures. The ability is presented as a fantastical premise; whether the story gives it a broader meaning is unclear.
- A case involving missing flowers: The subtitle names a case of missing flowers for the twin detective investigators. The mystery provides a detective-story frame, but the treatment of the disappearance and its outcome are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- The title presents a missing-flowers mystery. The book's account of what happened to the flowers, and whether the case involves any upsetting events, is not clear from the premise.
