The Bad Guys box set is a hit in my 3rd grade classroom library. My students love this series. It is funny, engaging, and perfect for reluctant readers. The books are paperback, but they have held up well with daily use by lots of eager hands. If you are a teacher or building a classroom library, this set is a great addition.

I looked at buying these used from a different seller - the total was approximately $30+ for the set of "used" books with acceptable quality rating. Checked Amazon and was pleased to see a NEW set for 1/2 the price. They came in a box and shrink wrapped. No issues with packaging or bent corners, etc. Great gift for my son whose been going through books like crazy.

Great value on a collection of books my 7 year old enjoyed reading with me. A good way to get started on the series. The books can go fast if your child is a good reader, and having a few of them allowed him to keep going once he was done. His older sister also snuck these to read and seemed to enjoy them.
