Despite a lifelong struggle with dyslexia, Tom Phillips grew up with a passion for storytelling. He writes books that kids can enjoy on their own, but also read aloud and share. He's had a long career as an editor and artist for clients such as LeVar Burton Kids, HBO, Disney, and ABC, and is currently writing a screenplay for a major studio. An armchair Sherlockian, Tom lives in Los Angeles with his lovely wife and his dog, Dr. Watson.

of Lemony Snicket's work, sits well among its madcap mystery
cohort."-Publishers Weekly
"This fast-paced mystery, sprinkled with humor and life lessons,
has enough twists, turns, red herrings, and secrets to keep readers
guessing. A strong series starter for fans of clever
mysteries."-Booklist

Library Journal
"A brisk romp chock-full of tricky twists and daffy doings."-Kirkus
