I liked the book because the girl never gives up. She is always looking for new things.

I liked Betsy the best, because she was so nice to her brother in one of the stories.

This book wasn't for me. It was easy for me to read by myself though.

It was amazing and fun to read to read. Betsey was my favourite character because she was funny. I think other children should read it because it is a good book.

Betsey and Prince the dog are both quite cheeky! My favourite character is Prince because he is a bit cheeky like me and I like dogs. I like the things that Betsey wears to show that she is a detective, like her funny hat

The best part of the book is when Betsey was looking for her teddy and got dressed up as a detective. The funniest bit was when all the washing fell on her because of her dog prince.
