It all starts here: the thrilling story of Steve Brixton’s first case. Our hero has a national treasure to recover, a criminal mastermind to unmask, and a social studies report due Monday—all while on the run from cops, thugs, and secret-agent librarians.
Just another day for a kid detective.
"The boy detective novel is back with Mac Barnett's tongue-in-cheek homage to the Hardy Boys mysteries. Arte Johnson is spot-on as narrator. His serious, straightforward delivery adds just the right leavening to this funny and entertaining story.”—AudioFile
"Arte Johnson gives Steve’s predicament a matter-of-fact, almost sardonic tone, with methodical pacing and understatement that provides listeners with laugh-out-loud enjoyment of this wholly improbable story. Fans will also enjoy the other titles in this series.”—School Library Journal

The boy detective novel is back with Mac Barnett's tongue-in-cheek homage to the Hardy Boys mysteries. Steve (don't EVER call him Steven), a 12-year-old future detective, has memorized all 58 volumes of the Bailey Brother mysteries, and he carries their Detective Handbook with him wherever he goes. The advice he finds there turns out to be invaluable when he is unwittingly thrust into his first case, clearing himself of a treason charge and identifying the elusive Mister E, seller of America's secrets. Arte Johnson is spot-on as narrator. His serious, straightforward delivery adds just the right leavening to this funny and entertaining story. N.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
