BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: SOME

A good picture book biography of Agatha Christie's life and how she used her creative imagination to inspire her writing. Also includes a look at what she went through to get her book published.

I thought McGrath was so good at explaining her life in a simple and easy to understand way for kids.Wong’s illustrations were so cute and funny hiding little mysteries on each page. I also liked that at the end the publisher included more in depth info about Christie’s life and mystery vocab words.
