The Case of the Graveyard Ghost: And Other Super-Scientific Cases

(4) 1-3 Doyle and Fossey, Science Detectives series. Illustrated by Barbara Johansen Newman. Young detectives Drake and Nell use their scientific acumen to solve several mysteries. First using carbon-dioxide gas to free a girl trapped in a clothes chute, the pair also demonstrate how capillary action caused some roses at a flower show to change color. The characterizations are clichéd and the dialogue is affected, but the activities and experiments will please budding scientists.
