Marty Frye, Private Eye: The Case of the Missing Action Figure & Other Mysteries

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Laurie Keller. Aspiring poet and amateur detective Marty Frye belts out couplets as he tracks down a classmate's missing diary, a lost box of action figures, and his sister's bag of flour. While poetry and detective fiction are an interesting mix, Marty's unimaginative rhymes become tiresome fairly quickly. Hip black-and-white drawings add humor.
