I love that my son loves to read. I admit, it’s taken a few years for him to really love books. I wasn’t sure that he would grow into a motivated reader like his mom. But when we lost power during Hurricane Irma, it was such a blessing to find this sweet boy curled up with a good book to pass the time.
Good books can be hard to come by, but lately my little reader has been enthralled with the new Hilde Cracks the Case book series from Scholastic. Check out what makes Scholastic Branches books perfect for your early reader, grab your FREE Hilde Cracks the Case Printables and be sure to scroll down for a FUN Scholastic Prize Pack Giveaway!
Hilde Cracks the Case Book Series Makes Reading FUN!
Transition is never easy, especially when it comes to reading. Traditional books are too “baby-ish” for my 8-year old, but large chapter books can be intimidating at times. That’s where Hilde Cracks the Case Book Series comes in. These transition books from Scholastic’s early reader line provides the engaging, encouraging and FUN books geared just for kids like him.
Ten-year-old crime reporter Hilde Lysiak is starring in her very own Branches early chapter book series — inspired by news stories Hilde wrote in real life! In this first book, there’s been a break-in on Orange Street! Cupcakes have been stolen, and soon a pie goes missing, too. Hilde and her sister/photographer, Izzy, must interview witnesses and follow the clues. Can Hilde crack the case in time to post her news story online? Joanne Lew-Vriethoff’s personality-filled illustrations appear on every page, bringing Hilde’s adventures to life for young readers!
Here’s why your early reader will love the latest new series, Hilde Cracks the Case:
- Based on the true crime reporting stories of 10-year old author Hilde Lysiak
- Engaging mystery stories that are perfect for young readers with easy-to-read text
- Detailed illustrations on every page!
- Quality books that we love from Scholastic’s early chapter book line, Scholastic Branches
The new Hilde Cracks the Case book series is part of Scholastic Branches, a fun line of early chapter books from Scholastic, geared to help your young reader fall in love with books. Each series is Common Core-ready to encourage your early readers to transition from traditional books into chapter books with ease.

I love that it’s based on the real-life Hildi (longtime Orange Street news fan here) and features a girl who’s brave and resourceful. It’s Nancy Drew for six-year-olds. This is exactly the kind of book I like to buy my daughter to counteract all the princesses and sparkly ponies she’s bombarded with!
