Sixth-grader Piper Corduroy is a top-notch detective who doesn’t guess and is rarely surprised. When King Tut’s ancient tuba is stolen from the library, it’s a case for her Broom Room Detective Agency (in the broom closet at Nosedive Junior High)! To Piper and her partners, mystery-loving Fred Sassafras and Chim-Chim, a cat with a meatball-shaped head, everyone is a suspect. Is the culprit school prankster Belly Buttons? Mr. Hazard, the archaeologist-librarian? The smiley Season sisters, Summer and Spring? Or maybe even . . . a ghost? The clock is ticking: Mr. Moped, head of hall monitors, thinks Piper is a nosey wisenheimer and wants to solve the crime himself—and whichever sleuth fails to nab the crook first will get a day-tention! But this case is tricky. Not even Fred’s adorable baby bunny eyes, which make people putty in his hands, can uncover the clues. Piper finds herself a little afraid—and a little excited—at the thought of having something she’s never had before: a worthy adversary. Fun illustrations enhance this zany page-turner of a mystery.
