The carousel mystery
Leslie McFarlane, Paul Casale
- Reading
- Try reading a little at a time and pause to collect the clues as Nancy encounters them. If the puzzle becomes confusing, discuss which details seem useful before continuing.
- Themes
- Solving a mystery: Nancy investigates after the brass ring disappears and finds that the clues are difficult to sort through. The plot foregrounds gathering and making sense of clues, but does not establish how the story evaluates Nancy's methods or what conclusions it draws.
- Worth knowing
- The mystery turns on a contest being put at risk when its ring goes missing. The level of suspense, and whether anyone is harmed or accused, is not established.
