The Brixton Brothers

review 1: This series is hilarious! Loosely based on the Hardy Boys series, there are lots of puns and similar names and circumstances. This is book #2. Twelve year-old Steve Brixton, who has no siblings, formed The Brixton Brothers Detective Agency to model it after his favorite 58 book mystery series, the Bailey Brothers, written by MacArthur Bart. No new books have been written for 30 years. Steve gets a case concerning a missing diamond but he quickly solves it. Steve has written letters to his idol MacArthur Bart for years with no reply. Then the man contacts him but when he goes to meet him he discovers that the author is missing. Soon Steve is involved with the mysterious B. Syndicate. Every step of the way he refers to the Bailey Brothers' Detective Handbook to find out what... more he should do in various situations. The author, Mac Barnett, has written a very clever series.
review 2: Twelve year old Steve Brixton, avid reader of the Bailey Brothers mysteries, has set up his own detective agency. His first case in this book, that of a stolen diamond, is easily solved, but the next one involves the author of the Bailey Brothers series, MacArthur Bart, who has been kidnapped. With his trusty copy of the Bailey Brothers' Detective Handbook, Steve and his good chum Dana pursue the goons and evil doers while being shot at, kidnapped, and facing the insidious plots of the bad guys.A good series book for about 4th grade. Think Hardy Boys, updated. less
