mystery books for children
I remember books in school during the 1980s about a group of children who solved mysteries?

the reader had to pick which solution they would follow. There was quite a few books in the series. Depending on the choices made through the book determined the ending. Thats all I can remember…so if anyone else can think of anything let me know I would love to find these for my daughter.

Probably the Choose Your Own Adventure books, although there are an awful lot of variations on the theme.
