James Patterson has just created the most spine-tingling,
creepy-crawling, giggle-producing kid's detective club ever.
That's ever.
Living in the luxurious Arcanum building--with its interior balconies
perfect for playing tag, an elevator like an iron birdcage, and quirky
neighbors behind every apartment door--has always been fun and games for
twelve-year-old Minerva Keen...until her neighbors start getting
poisoned. Anyone could be next, and everyone is a suspect, including
Minerva herself.
To clear her name and help the police crack the case, Minerva starts her
own detective club. So what if it has only two other members, one being
Minerva's accident-prone daredevil brother and the other being the
biggest and quietest kid in school, who happens to be afraid of his own
shadow? Minerva knows that with her brainpower, the club's sleuthing
skills, and case files full of suspects, they can unmask the
poisoner...hopefully before it's too late.
This page-turning new mystery series is packed with thrills, chills,
laughs, and unforgettable characters and will leave kids eager to join
the best club around.
