They've got an exciting collection of cases, too:  Are ghosts and ghouls keeping Edgar Glum awake? Have aliens invaded Mossy Swamp?  What's the crooked game everyone's losing at the carnival? And why is the town bridge going bananas? Kids will have fun following the clues?and learning about such real scientific principles as amplification, ecosystems, magnetic fields, and more.  Plus, budding Doyles and Fosseys will find actual experiments to try!

Doyle and Fossey are on a mission?a monster mission! It seems there's a giant bloodsucking monster gasping and gurgling in their friend Gabby's garbage can. Can they figure out what's up before the creature gobbles Gabby for lunch? This and four more cool cases will have kids checking out the clues?and learning great science too, including facts about the life cycle of a frog and chromatography.

Is there a creepy creature lurking in Mossy Lake? Is an evil plot stirring? Is something shocking happening to Caitlin's cat Zappy?and can he be de-zapped? Would-be scientists and detectives will want to slip into their lab coats, dust off their test tubes, and get on the case with Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey.  Hint: to find the answers, kids will have to use such scientific principles as buoyancy and static electricity.
