In this first clever chapter book starring Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey, real science is seamlessly woven into four exciting cases, including a mysterious food-poisoning epidemic and a spooky tree-house ghost. The snappy dialogue and wacky scenarios are perfect for middle-graders, who will enjoy discovering the appendix of science activities, which focus on such concepts as epidemiology, code breaking, phases of matter, and simple machines. Each corresponds to a case in the book and will have readers scrambling for their own lab notebooks and detective gear! Michele Torrey and Barbara Johansen Newman teamed up on three other titles in the Doyle and Fossey series, including The Case of the Graveyard Ghost, about which School Library Journal raved, "Early chapter-book readers will be enchanted with the deductive skills and humor of Doyle and Fossey, whose adventures will remind readers of Cam Jansen and Einstein Anderson." Michele Torrey lives in Auburn, Washington. Barbara Johansen Newman lives in Needham, Massachusetts.
