I liked Mr Dickens because he is funny but I didn't like Laura Drew and her little gang. They were so mean but I knew it was only part of the story.

I loved the mysteries and the dog solving the clue. I would recommend this book to others because it is really fun. My favourite character in the book was Amy because she was the person who got helped by Dotty.

15 Jul 2024

I think it's really good because she's not friends with a girl, she's actually not going with her gender, she has a friend who is a boy and his name is Beans.

10 Jul 2024

I think that Dotty was a great mystery solver and McClusky was very helpful to her. My favourite characters were the twins Daisy and Alf. I will surely recommend this book to my friends.

06 Jul 2024

I liked the part where Dot and Bean got a certificate for the show in front of a huge crowd. But I didn’t like the things getting lost. Therefore I am only giving 3 stars.
