My daughter just finished the mysterious Benedict society series and she LOVES how the characters solve problems and use their brains. She, herself, is a big fan of puzzles and has recently finished the first professor Layton game.
I'm looking for a new book or series for her with the same vibe as professor Layton!

Maybe the Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald J. Sobol?
Harriet the Spy?
The Sherlock Holmes short stories are mostly appropriate for children, I think. Enid Blyton also wrote numerous mystery series for children; the Five Find-Outers will probably be the most satisfactory. Just note that there can be very outdated racist and classist views expressed in those books at some points 😩 I loved growing up with the Find-Outers, but it does hit different as a kid from the postcolony.
