The Case of the Terrible T. Rex - Doyle and Fossey, Science Detectives - Michele Torrey and Barbara Johansen Newman

The Case of the Terrible T. Rex
Doyle and Fossey, Science Detectives
Michele Torrey (Author)
Barbara Johansen Newman (Illustrator)
Sterling Publishing
ISBN 9781402749667

The cover of this book caught my attention. I had never heard of the series and thought I would give it a try. It was a good read - something I am sure children will enjoy and with 5 other books in the series, there are lots of stories to read.

Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey are science detectives in the fifth grade. Then there are problems in Mossy Lake. In this book, they have four mysteries to solve. The cases in this volume are:

Werewolf at Midnight
Poor Little Fish
Digging for Dinosaurs
Hamming it up

They use science and the scientific method to figure out problems that are plaguing the people around town, kind of like the Ghostbusters. Where there is a problem, people call Doyle and Fossey, for as their business cards say 'Call anytime'. Or read anytime for a good story.
