“Cartoonist Pastis continues his heavily illustrated best-selling series with a fifth mystery. . . . Wittier than the Wimpy Kid and with a movie in the offing, the series can only gain fans.” — Kirkus Reviews
This book was never meant to exist. No one needs to know the details. Just know this: there’s a Merry, a Larry, and a missing tooth, and, worst of all, Timmy is banned from detective work. It’s a conspiracy of buffoons. He recorded everything in his private notebook, but then the manuscript was stolen. If this book gets out, he will be grounded for life. Or maybe longer. And will Timmy’s mom really marry Doorman Dave?
