Steve Brixton always wanted to be a detective . . . until he found out he already was one.

It all starts here: the thrilling story of Steve Brixton’s first case. Our hero has a national treasure to recover, a criminal mastermind to unmask, and a social studies report due Monday—all while on the run from cops, thugs, and secret-agent librarians.

Just another day for a kid detective.
