It's no mystery why this complete collection of Brixton Brothers books is a must-have for any sleuth!
Seventh-grader Steve Brixton is obsessed with the Bailey Brothers, a pair of sibling sleuths who solve crimes in a mystery book series. Steve read all fifty-eight Bailey Brothers mysteries, sent away cereal box tops to get his Bailey Brothers Detective's License, and studies The Bailey Brothers' Detective Handbook. And by using the tactics of his fictional heroes (with varying degrees of success), Steve inadvertently becomes America's top sleuth.
This complete collection of Brixton Brothers adventures includes: The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity, The Ghostwriter Secret, It Happened on a Train, and Danger Goes Berserk.
“"Like the three earlier volumes of the Brixton Brothers series, this chapter book takes the adventure and plotting of an old-school (think Hardy Boys) series mystery and overlays it with deadpan, offbeat humor. The occasional full-page drawings help define the characters, settings, and tone of the story. Wildly improbable and reliably entertaining."”
