Caseys Cases Vol 1 The Mysterious New Girl TP

Description

Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Nancy Drew meets Amelia Bedelia in this hilarious young graphic novel series featuring an aspiring detective who will solve any case . . . usually accidentally.

Casey wants nothing more than to be a detective. No mystery is too big or small for her to tackle! OK, so she doesn';t see everything coming—mean girl Dina always has the last word, and Casey is constantly falling into embarrassing disasters in front of cute boy AJ.

But now, it';s Casey';s eleventh birthday, and she';s just been given a magnifying glass and a pair of binoculars—perfect gifts for today';s mystery: Mr. Muffin, a cat Casey';s parents insist is too big to be a hungry stray. Will Casey manage to convince them he belongs with her? More importantly, could that new girl in school be the perfect contender for a new best friend? Casey';s on the job, and she won';t stop till all cases are closed.

Fresh talent Kay Healy';s winsome heroine, crackling wit, and charmingly geometric characters alchemize to comedy gold. Voracious young comics fans won';t want to miss Casey';s laugh-out-loud debut.
