YOUNGER FICTION

It Came from Beneath the Playground

(4) 1-3 Snoop Troop series. Zaniness abounds as fledgling fourth-grade detectives Logan Lang and Gustavo Muchomacho unite to investigate the disappearance of kids' toys and local recreational items. Clues are everywhere, especially in the busy cartoonlike illustrations. The narrator's crime-drama parody and the characters' wisecracks sometimes feel forced, but this fusion of mystery, graphic novel, and activity book, first in a series, offers much to engage young readers.
