Mysteries and inquisitive minds go together.
As humans, we are naturally curious. It is curiosity and the drive to understand and master our surroundings that help us to learn such basic, yet essential, skills as grabbing and walking.
To a regular adult, the kitchen cabinet holds nothing more than pots and pans. An inquisitive toddler finds much more in that same spot. First of all, it is a dark cave that a small kid can neatly fit into. It holds objects that are fun to play with. Every step a child takes is filled with a new experience. From inspecting toys, asking questions on how things work, kids grow to understand the real world. Children start playing detective. Magnifying glasses, little containers to hold evidence and other investigative paraphernalia become favorites.
The average person learns to read during the primary school years. It is at that point that the wide world of fiction opens up to any kid with access to books. I remember reading just about any mystery book my local library had in the kids' department. I was fascinated by the cases, and by the young characters who solved them. Some cases were simple mischief, others darker crimes committed by evil adults. The children in the books went about to collect clues, make assumptions, and they always found out who the culprit was.
One thing that I always liked and still cherish is the fact that these stories get me involved. There is often mild or even serious peril, but nobody gets badly hurt.
In my selection of editor's picks, find stories that showcase heroic children solving complex, or simple mysteries. |
