Jeff Bunter, Brian Rooney, Kelly Smitts and Mara Lubin are the GoofBalls. They are primary school detectives. And they have a reputation in town for being able to solve any mystery. They have not had a new case in some time so are helping prepare the school for the 100th Anniversary of Badger Point school celebration. They are helping to decorate the Cafeteri-Audi-Nasium! Badger Point is a small school, so they have combined the cafeteria, the auditorium, and the gymnasium into one multipurpose room. The mystery begins when the statue of the first principal of Badger Point School goes missing on the day it is to be unveiled. With such diverse clues like a skateboard in a piano, a broken pencil, a scrap of paper that smells like chlorine, and a climbing rope, the Goofballs solve their goofiest mystery yet. But you will need to read to find out how they put it all together.
This is the second book in one of two new series out this year by Tony Abbott. Like everything else I have read by him, it is a great read. This series is aimed at younger readers than his other series, but Abbott does an amazing job of gearing the story for them. This book was a wonderful read and though there are two more planned in the series I hope there will be many more to share with children after that!
