Bøger i Mariko Takashi serien

Alvaro Jameson spends a day off from high school to visit his local natural history museum. During his tour, he discovers that a fossilized dinosaur egg has gone missing. He fears that a magic user is stealing artifacts, so he calls in his high school's Witch Mariko Takashi, his partner in solving supernatural crimes. When the museum gets locked down, Alvaro and Mariko uncover a plot that a reanimation Witch is bringing back to life prehistoric creatures. Will the two survive an onslaught of dangerous monsters and save their city?

What if Sherlock Holmes were a teenage witch, and Holmes were a nerdy klutz with no magical powers? Mariko Takashi is a young investigator of supernatural crimes and monster attacks, until freshman Alvaro Jameson witnesses her magic. Now they must team up until she can prove she's responsible around normal humans.

In the vein of popular light novels, and an homage to classic detective stories, the Mariko Takashi series are young adult books where magic and monsters are real, but the world is unaware that they exist. Mariko Takashi is a 15-year-old Witch who must team up with a normal human to solve supernatural crimes and battle monsters escaping to Earth.
