The local wildlife is behaving strangely and so are some of the grown-ups, particularly his teacher, the weird and elusive Miss Fleming. It doesn't help that Sheldon is being relentlessly pursued by bullies--including his older brother!
Just when things couldn't get much worse, a new kid turns up in Sheldon's classroom. Theophilus Brain, aka "The Brain," has an excessive imagination and a lot of odd ideas about what is ailing Farrago Bay. With clues like a missing human leg and a crocodile who likes to play fetch, it's up to Sheldon and the Brain to uncover a web of evil that stretches across two continents.
Author Martin Chatterton has crafted a wonderfully imaginative mystery that features memorable, well-drawn characters. The surprising and occasionally hilarious plot twists will engage and delight young readers.
