Review from my 11 year old:
“Alvin invents a paper slinger and uses it to sling papers. One crashes into a window of the old Huntley House. He retrieves it and finds a burger wrapper. He knows Old Mrs. Huntley doesn’t eat take out. Alvin keeps going with new inventions to gather information. Deploys an automatic man-trap and earns the pride of his parents.”
He recommends this to 10/11 year olds.

Fun vintage kids' mystery in the vein of Encyclopedia Brown or the Three Investigators
I recognized this cover. Another book from my childhood. Wish I could remember more about it.

“Alvin Fernard becomes mayor and tries to solve Riverton’s problems. Yes, I liked it. There’s a lot of problem solving, suspense, and a hot fudge sundae!”
