4-6Brixton Brothers series.
Illustrated by
Adam Rex.
This second Brixton Brothers installment is similar in comedic elements to The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity. This time Steve must rescue his favorite author, MacArthur Bart, as well as find a missing diamond. The story functions well as a Hardy Boys–type parody; how humorous middle-grade readers find it may depend on their familiarity with the genre.
