The Mystery of the Disappearing Cat (Mystery Series)

This is a great Junior detective story: the puzzle is not only who stole the cat, but how could they have done it. There is a satisfying streak of logic in how the Find-Outers go about this mystery that appealed to my six-year-old daughter, and some fun distractions along the way. Higly recommended.

This is the second book to the five findouter series written by Enid Blyton. As I have mentioned in my review to the first book (i.e: The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage), this series of books is probably Enid Blyton's best work, being very entertaining, having great plots, and definitely superior in quality when compared with the more flashily titled "Famous Five" and "Secret Seven". Recommended to readers of all ages... (I'm aged 21) This book talks about the dissapearance and reappearance of an expensive cat. How does the cat dissapear? and what does it have to do with wet paint? Once again the children get together to solve the puzzle, leading to the apprehension of the criminal, and revelation of a great plot. And i'm thinking "Damn, not bad for only kids". The books creates a few laughs as the children successfully hamper Mr. Goon's progress in various ways (to his agony, and our entertainment). A word to readers however, Dissapearing Cat is rather mundane compared to the remaining books in the series. However I highly recommend one read it before progressing to Book 3: The Mystery of the Secret Room, which is essentially where the fun begins in full throttle, and onwards to the other stories.... These books are for all...from age 8 to till your really really very old. ENJOY!
