(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Martin Brown. Readers have a dual romp with two bundled novellas, Thunderbolt's Waxwork and The Gas-Fitters' Ball, first published in the UK in the 1990s. Set in Victorian London, the stories feature a neighborhood band of children fancying themselves detectives. Both madcap adventures contain lots of characters and lots of plot, with all coming together in complicated, satisfying endings.
