Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-5-In this installment of the mystery series, Griffin Bing and his crime-solving pals are under suspicion when the valuable Star of Prague goes missing during Cedarville's annual Santa's Workshop Holiday Spectacular. After all, its disappearance has led to the event's cancellation, letting them off the hook as volunteer elves. But there are plenty of other suspects, and these tenacious middle school sleuths are willing to break a lot of rules to get to the truth of the matter. Some of the myriad subplots are on the ridiculous side, but the outcome never gets predictable. VERDICT Korman's fans will enjoy this lighthearted Christmas puzzle.-Linda Israelson, Los Angeles Public Library © Copyright 2016.

Review by Horn Book Review

Griffin and his gang have been roped into playing Santa's elves at Cedarville's annual Holiday Spectacular at the Colchester Mansion. But when a priceless artifact, the Star of Prague, is stolen, Mr. Colchester shuts down the holiday display. It's up to "Man with the Plan" Griffin to save Christmas. This eighth addition to the comical mystery series is full of warm, fuzzy holiday cheer. (c) Copyright 2017. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
