Margaret Agnes Ferguson is an eight-year-old with lots of questions, and an instinct for mystery! She and her friends investigate mysterious happenings in their community, starting with an empty space right in Margaret's room! What can it be for? Who is creating it? And what does it mean for Margaret and her family? Find out in THE FERGUSON FILES: THE MYSTERY SPOT! This book is perfect to read to young children and can be read independently by elementary school students up to grades three or four. The language and illustrations are designed for clarity and warmth; we may tease curiosity but there won't be any inappropriate scares here. Also included in this debut children's book are safe "detective games" kids can play with their family or a group of friends under supervision. The games are designed to keep kids thinking and observing, and to build self-confidence. As Margaret says, "Let's keep thinking!" So who published this?
