The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett

The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett, Illustrations by Adam Rex

Love Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys and Encyclopedia Brown? Steve Brixton is all this and more, in Mac Barnett's tribute to these iconic series. Brilliant, funny, ironic, and that's even before the secret agent librarians. With the addition of Adam Rex's illustrations (spot on nostalgia to the well loved detective series of years past), this one's a gem.
