Best Agatha Christie Books for Tweens & Teens

For kids who like mystery books, the middle school years (and beyond) are a great time to get acquainted with Agatha Christie's classics. The murder mystery content is actually quite tame compared to many of the movies and shows this age group is watching, and the bigger challenge may be keeping up with the twists and turns of the plot.

    And Then There Were None

    Alexandra F.:  My 7th grader just read this classic Agatha Christie mystery book for junior high and is OBSESSED. She absolutely loved the intriguing story about 10 strangers trapped together on an island who mysteriously begin to die, one by one. Who is the murderer?? Will anyone be left alive? She could barely keep herself from reading ahead. A great mystery book for kids who are a little older, up through adults!
