Opis

The most original kid detective since Encyclopedia Brown

After an exciting year of solving mysteries, Striker and his friends are off to summer camp But all is not as it seems throughout their summer adventure, and new puzzles continue to pile up. Someone is firing arrows in the dead of night. Two campers hide a mysterious past. And is it a friend or foe who sabotages the dance decorations?

This delightful and humorous sequel continues the adventures of Striker, Bill, Sheila, and Amy, with new characters joining the fun. Like the first Striker Jones novel, young readers will learn new economic concepts in each mystery, such as wants vs. needs, entrepreneurship, and investment.

A finalist in the 2013 USA Best Book Awards, the Midwest Book Review calls Striker Jones a "fun and rollicking series" with "effortless teaching of both cooperation values and basic economics." SocialStudiesforKids.com calls it "an interesting and well-thought-out twist on the usual kid detective tales."
