Young Explorers is the Timmi Tobbson "early reader" series for adventurers and sleuths aged 6-8.

In typical Timmi Tobbson fashion, each Young Explorers book offers solve-them-yourself picture mysteries

Our Review

This illustrated mystery adventure follows young Timmi and his friends as they discover a secret message in an ancient book, launching them into a suspenseful quest. The story masterfully blends the visual engagement of a graphic novel with a text-based narrative, creating an accessible early reader chapter book for budding detectives. Each fully illustrated page helps support comprehension while keeping the pace lively, making complex problem-solving feel like an exciting game. This approach is particularly effective for children transitioning into longer stories but who still benefit from strong visual cues.

What truly sets this children's mystery apart are the interactive "solve-them-yourself" picture puzzles woven throughout the adventure, inviting readers to become active participants in the investigation. The family-friendly storyline about friendship and discovery provides just enough challenge without being intimidating, perfect for developing critical thinking and observation skills. Young sleuths will delight in piecing together clues alongside the characters, turning reading time into a collaborative detective mission that builds confidence with every solved mystery.
