[OPLINLIST] Remember a Kids' Mystery Series?

[Laura Klein]

Hello-

 

Can anyone help us with this one?

 

A patron is asking for a children's mystery series he remembers that is mostly pictures (not sure if they were photos or drawings), showing some type of scene on a page and asking the readers to find clues in the picture that will allow them to solve the mystery.  Almost like I Spy books but more involved.  Paperback and about the size of a comic book.  I vaguely remember something like this from about 5 years ago, but we no longer have it.

 

Thank you!

 

Laura A. Klein
