About the Author My name is Brian Griebel, and I live in Ohio. I came up with the idea for The Mystery Twins while I was at work one day, thinking about a mystery set in a movie theater where all the food at the snack bar suddenly disappears-and how there aren't many stories set in movie theaters. That idea led to the creation of Mason and Mackenzie, 10-year-old twins who go around their town solving mysteries while learning important lessons such as honesty, trust, and respect, as well as navigating the challenges of adolescence and middle school. I created The Mystery Twins because I noticed that there don't seem to be many junior detective stories, and the ones we do have often fall short of expectations. About the Book The Mystery Twins is a series of short stories centered around 10-year-old twins Mason and Mackenzie Barnes, who go around their town solving mysteries while learning important lessons such as honesty, trust, and respect, and navigating the challenges of preadolescence and middle school.
