“I really need your help!” said the woman on the phone. “A note has been slipped into my purse. It says, Beware … a dirty trick!” Max Monroe can’t believe Rhonda Remington, his favorite author, is calling the Monroe Detective Agency looking for his help! It’s hours before Rhonda competes for a spot in the Mystery Hall of Fame, and she’s desperate to find out who wrote the note and what kind of dirty trick they’re planning for her big night. Max is thrilled to take her case. He may be only ten years old, but he’s a clever detective. And of course he has his partner, Uncle Larry, to help him. Well, as much as an uncle who’s a ghost can help!
With funny dialogue and a cast of oddball characters, author L. M. Falcone (a former private investigator herself) continues to delight with this third title in her early chapter book series about a super-talented boy detective who solves cases with the ghost of his uncle Larry. Though having a ghost sidekick that no one else can see creates opportunities for hilarious misunderstandings and mayhem when Max and Uncle Larry are out in public, at its heart, this is a true whodunit. The slowly building storyline allows children to exercise their critical-thinking skills as Max gathers clues and draws up a list of suspects. And the segmented chapters, short sentences and line drawings throughout add to the appeal of this mystery series for newly independent readers.

Paperback. Etat : new. Smith, Kim (illustrateur). Paperback. "I really need your help!" said the woman on the phone. "A note has been slipped into my purse. It says, Beware . a dirty trick!" Max Monroe can't believe Rhonda Remington, his favourite author, is calling the Monroe Detective Agency looking for his help! It's hours before Rhonda competes for a spot in the Mystery Hall of Fame, and she's desperate to find out who wrote the note and what kind of dirty trick they're planning for her big night. Max is thrilled to take her case. He may be only ten years old, but he's a clever detective. And of course he has his partner, Uncle Larry, to help him. Well, as much as an uncle who's a ghost can help! With funny dialogue and a cast of oddball characters, author L. M. Falcone (a former private investigator herself) continues to delight with this third title in her early chapter book series about a super-talented boy detective who solves cases with the ghost of his uncle Larry. Though having a ghost sidekick that no one else can see creates opportunities for hilarious misunderstandings and mayhem when Max and Uncle Larry are out in public, at its heart, this is a true whodunit. The slowly building storyline allows children to exercise their critical-thinking skills as Max gathers clues and draws up a list of suspects. And the segmented chapters, short sentences and line drawings throughout add to the appeal of this mystery series for newly independent readers. AGES: 6-9 AUTHOR: L. M. (Lucy) Falcone was a couch potato growing up and loved watching television. Her parents were immigrants, and rarely did a book find its way into her home --- that is, until she discovered the local library. Encouraged by her beloved grade 5 teacher (Mrs. Cherwaty) to read her short stories aloud to the class, Lucy felt a spark ignite that has never been extinguished. She knew from the tender age of ten that she wanted to be a writer, although along the way she also became a teacher and a private investigator. Her novels have garnered multiple nominations and several wins. Max is thrilled when his favorite writer, Rhonda Remington, calls up the detective agency. But Rhonda is less than thrilled: someone has warned her to beware on the night of a big storytelling competition. Max is on the case, but his unusual partner -- the ghost of his great-uncle Larry -- is his usual bumbling self. Will they solve the mystery or lose the plot? It's the spookiest case yet in the Ghost and Max Monroe series! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781771380195
