Publisher Description

Steve Brixton is America's next great kid detective (and now he has his own agency to prove it)....

When 12-year-old detective Steve Brixton gets a call that the Fairview diamond has gone missing, there are only two things to do: grab his new business cards and take the case!

But Steve quickly learns there's an even bigger mystery afoot.

MacArthur Bart, a.k.a. Steve's hero, a.k.a. the author of the Bailey Brothers Mysteries series, has been kidnapped! With the man who taught him everything he knows about sleuthing in trouble, Steve and his best chum, Dana, know they must stage a daring rescue.... Once they find out where Bart is... and who took him... and why.

"Outstanding choice for listening -- the whole family enjoyed this one. Arte Johnson does a great job narrating Barnett's oh so funny text. I like it even though I also like smooth jazz! ;) As soon as we finished, they asked if the next book was out yet. Steve is clever and resourceful, Rick is not, and Dana proves himself a true chum once again."

    " It was okay, but not as funny as I had hoped. Maybe the narrator didn't do it justice. Or maybe I just had high hopes for a riotously funny book from Mac Barnett and it fell short. Not bad, just not as funny as I had hoped... "

    " Good old Steve Brixton. On the one hand, he's kind of dense, because he deeply believes that the Bailey Brothers universe can exist in the 21st century (heck, it was a biiig stretch in the previous century). And yet, he is a very insightful--and ace--detective. Looking forward to volume 3. "

    " This book is pretty amusing, in a grim kinda way. I mean, it's like the Hardy Boys that's more set in the present, with overreacting. Quite amusing, as I said before. I suggest for people less than 10 years of age to read this. Otherwise, nah. I really mean it. ? "

    " When a series crime is solved in the first chapter, you know the Brixton Brothers detective agency is back in business. Complete with convincing disguises, high-speed chases, and successful snooping, The Ghost Writer Secret fits right in to the rest of the series. "
