    Charlie O’Shields

    eBook (iUniverse, March 23, 2002)
    Amanda, Jonathon and Sam, the sleuths of Curious Cases, Inc., have been looking for a mystery to solve. One day their teacher, Miss Imagine, suggests they try looking for mysteries inside their local library. The three detectives are skeptical at first, but decide to take the case. There, they meet Miss Preface, the mysterious librarian who starts them out on a fast-paced journey to a magical place known as Information Aislelanda land full of books where nothing is quite as it seems. The three sleuths soon learn that Miser Snoot, the evil bookkeeper, has stolen all of the Aisleland's books and it's up to Curious Cases, Inc. to get them back. As they meet the strange inhabitants of Information Aisleland, they collect new clues and soon discover that the key to stopping Snoot lies in learning the importance of reading the very books they are trying to save. This Curious Case unravels the secrets of reading and proves that even a local library can be a great place to start an adventure!
