Title
Trouble in Bugland: A Collection of Inspector Mantis Mysteries (Godine Storyteller),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A collection of five detective stories for young readers, inspired by Sherlock Holmes but with an allinsect cast of characters. Going forth from his little flat at 221B Flea Street, Inspector Mantis, accompanied by his trusted colleague Doctor Hopper, solve The Case of the Missing Butterfly, The Case of the Caterpillars Head, and three other antennaebending mysteries puzzling the populace of Bugland. Criminal detection, combined with delightful insect characters, makes this, in the words of The Horn Book, the most engaging and cleverest reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson yet. Joe Servellos color and penandink drawings bring exquisite period detail to these tales: steam engines, deerstalkers, fog, and mandibles have never been more lovingly crosshatched. This is a treat for any kid who loves a funny mystery.
