Today's episode of Get a Clue, Dad could really be called Get a Clue, Parents as we have our first guest. Eleven year old MJ's Mom joins in the fun as we discuss P. G. Bell's fairytale mystery, The Beanstalk Murder. It's a fun book that uses the Jack and the Beanstalk fairytale as a starting point for a murder mystery!

As always, our discussion is split into two parts. The first is a general discussion where we talk about some of the book's elements and give our general verdict. Then MJ will sound her spoiler alert and we'll dig into the details of the mystery, talking about its solution.
