the rock hopper penguin chuckled softly to himself, turned away from the diner, and disappeared into the fog. A moment later the lights in Smiling Sallys Diner went out. Could famous penguin detective Mr. Pin be involved in a crime? In another case, Cubs manager Walter Wavemin needs Mr. Pins help. Chicago sees double in the two pun-filled mysteries. Lively plotting, staccato, deadpan delivery in whimsical parody of Dashiell Hammett; an economical style and carefully controlled repetition of ideas and phrases and an engaging hero genuinely funny, brief mysteries.Kirkus Kids will like this penguin detective.ALA Booklist
