March Tween Read Scene: Get a Clue with the Mystery Genre

Do you love solving puzzles?  Are you able to guess the ending to every movie?  Well, the MYSTERY genre might be just right for you!  Stories in the MYSTERY genre feature a crime or mystery and allow you, as the reader, to become the detective.  They can be spooky, funny, or suspenseful, but it is your job to figure out what has happened throughout the story.
