(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Toby lives with his uncle Gabriel, a down-on-his-luck private investigator. When Gabriel's celebrity-detective nemesis sponsors a contest offering a $10,000 prize and bragging rights as the next "world's greatest detective," Toby enters, without his uncle's knowledge. Clues drop where and when they will be most useful, and the mystery structure is solidly built, with multiple red herrings and surprising reversals.
