What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Violet and the Mystery Next Door is an interactive mystery storybook with a "choose your own adventure" vibe. The story itself tells the tale of Violet and a new boy who has moved in next door. As the book progresses, she finds a way to get to know him, and they work together to solve a small mystery. By the end, they are friends. At two points in the story, the reader has to make a choice between two paths. The choice doesn't really change the end of the story, but it does change some of the activities faced along the way.
