School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 Gr 4–7—Move over Sherlock and Watson, an adorable new detective and her sidekick, Grampa, are on the scene. Bonnie Montgomery is an ordinary girl on a trip with her grandfather during school break. When they arrive at their destination, the whole town is astir due to a mysterious death at the lighthouse. It's a perfect case for Montgomery Bonbon, who, coincidentally, has never been seen in the same room as Bonnie. The story includes everything a good whodunnit requires and more: a rival, a remote setting, loads of potential suspects—each with their own idiosyncrasies. Terrific illustrations will captivate readers and allow them to explore the craggy coast while they map out the town and explore clues left behind. Mystery at the Museum takes readers into a world of wildy imagined creature creations of the wealthiest eccentric in town. Montgomery Bonbon will offer readers hours of escapism while they try their best to solve the mysteries along with Bonnie, ahem, Montgomery Bonbon. The series might be best enjoyed if read in order, but it isn't necessary. VERDICT The Montgomery Bonbon books are expertly crafted mystery novels for young readers and would be an excellent addition to any collection. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
