Sherlock Holmes meets the Wayside School in this Middle Grade
supernatural sleuthing graphic novel about the Flick brothers - four
siblings searching for explanations to outbreaks of supernatural
strangeness and otherworldly weirdness in their Edwardian-era
hometown.
A bump in the night? They're on the case! At Strander House, things
are...weird. There's an ogre wedged in the closet, and you have to be
careful not to slip on the leak coming from the ocean in the attic.
What's possibly weirder than the fact that you can walk into the
bathroom and end up in next Tuesday are the four brothers who
investigate these strange supernatural occurrences...the Brothers Flick!
Leo, Desmond, Remy, and Cub seek to get to the bottom of every shadow
you swear you saw move. If they happen to stumble upon answers to the
mysterious disappearance of their own family along the way, all the
better. For fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events,
Gravity Falls, Whispering Pines, the Hardy Boys, the Winterhouse
series, the Greenglass House series, and the Wayside School series!
