Steve Brixton has a normal enough life. He goes to school every day, and tolerates his mom's new boyfriend Rick, and reads all the mystery books he can find. However, all this is turned upside down when, while working on a boring school assignment about early American needlework, Steve finds himself suddenly caught up in a dangerous mystery centered around, of all things, a library book. Chased by rogue librarians, and forced to hide out in his own hometown, Steve does everything in his power to solve his first case, and escape alive!It helps that Steve loves mysteries and mystery stories. His favorite books are the Bailey Brothers mysteries, and his fail-safe, go-to guide to navigating the strange circumstances he finds himself mired in is the Bailey Brothers' Detective Handbook. With his best friend Dana by his side, Steve knows that whatever the dangers and whatever the challenges he is equal to the task...right?
This book (and the others in this series) are funny, fast-paced, and full of quick witted banter and oddball humor. Steve is an unabashed mystery nut, and Dana is as indulgent of his flights of fancy as a friend can be. This book series is an excellent pick if you are looking for a little adventure and a lot of fun.
Note: The fictional Baily Brothers books mentioned in this series are based on the real life book series The Hardy Boys. If you have not read the Hardy Boys, now is the time. They are a fantastic set of thrill-a-minute adventures.The Hardy Boys books are available here in the fiction section under J/DIX.
