Like the title says, Im looking for a book as a gift for my brother who hasn’t read a book in maybe 5 years. I love to read and would love to find a book we can both read together, maybe to “re-spark” his interest/love in reading.
I think the length of books can be a bit daunting for him, so Im looking for something shorter. He likes mystery, almost “scooby-doo” like novels, “who done it”, secret tunnels and treasure type things and various excitements. Looking for a book you cant put down. Something newish would be great too.
Thank you in advanced!

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
In 1977, four teenagers and a dog—Andy (the tomboy), Nate (the nerd), Kerri (the bookworm), Peter (the jock), and Tim (the Weimaraner)—solved the mystery of Sleepy Lake. The trail of an amphibian monster terrorizing the quiet town of Blyton Hills leads the gang to spend a night in Deboën Mansion and apprehend a familiar culprit: a bitter old man in a mask.
Now, in 1990, the twenty-something former teen detectives are lost souls. Plagued by night terrors and Peter’s tragic death, the three survivors have been running from their demons. When the man they apprehended all those years ago makes parole, Andy tracks him down to confirm what she’s always known—they got the wrong guy. Now she’ll need to get the gang back together and return to Blyton Hills to find out what really happened in 1977, and this time, she’s sure they’re not looking for another man in a mask.
Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck. An easy read and a lot of fun.
