(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Leanne Franson. Thumb and his friend Susan try sleuthing in their isolated Canadian village. Old Kirk McKenna is acting fishy, and a new teacher arrives wearing thick makeup and an obvious wig. As we know from Thumb's previous books (The Thumb in the Box, Thumb on a Diamond), he and author Roberts alike are adept at creating adventure from the slimmest of means.
