Seventh graders Max Finder and Alison Santos solve a series of mysteries with some help from the reader, in books that also include puzzles and challenges.
OWL Magazine's popular seventh-grade gumshoes Max Finder and Alison Santos are back on the case! In this new collection of puzzles, the two young detectives tackle ten baffling whodunits, including "The Case of the Back-to-School Sneak," "The Case of the Slime Tank Sabotage," and "The Case of the Movie Set Mischief." Each case is crammed with clues, stuffed with suspects, and riddled with enough red herrings to keep readers guessing till the last panel, and each deals with an issue preteens can relate to. With its full-color comic illustrations, witty dialogue, and action-packed content, the collection keeps even reluctant readers engaged and laughing for hours. Bonus features include codes to crack, a detective quiz, and a Writer’s Notebook with tips on how readers can create their own comics. From getting an idea to setting the scene, from creating characters to building the plot, author Liam O’Donnell provides helpful pointers for any aspiring comic author.
