Max Finder Mystery Collected Casebook, Volume 5 - Craig Battle - Bog

The fifth volume in this award-winning graphic novel series features ten new mystery comics by "OWL Magazine" editor Craig Battle, plus two never-before-published short mystery stories by series creator Liam O'Donnell. As always, storylines are intriguing and relevant, illustrations are detailed and compelling, and dialogue is snappy. Each solve-it-yourself comic stars amateur detective Max Finder and his best friend, budding journalist Alison Santos. Seventh graders at Whispering Meadows Junior High, these two intrepid investigators must call upon their skills to crack each case before them. Who defaced the town with graffiti? Who sabotaged the school magic show try-outs? And who stole the exam answer key from Mr. Reed's desk? Readers can decipher the clues for themselves and make their own judgments -- before the true culprit is revealed. Bonus content unique to this volume includes a yearbook-style introduction to Max and Alison's classmates: bully Ben "Basher" McGintley, gossip queen Leslie Chang, prankster Kyle Kressman, and a host of others. Plus, tips and tricks from Max and Alison for readers looking to develop their own eagle eyes and other sleuthing skills!
