The latest mystery for beginning readers from author-illustrator Doug Cushman is Dirk Bones and the Mystery of the Missing Books, in which the intrepid reporter Dirk (I suspect a nod to Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt) investigates why the books by famous author Edgar Bleek are going missing.I really like Cushman's works (such as the Aunt Eater series and those featuring wombat detective Seymour Sleuth) with their engaging drawings.
