THE CASE OF THE TEAM SPIRIT

John Allison

Tackleford, England, is a town full of mysteries.
Shauna, Charlotte, and Mildred just want to help the mysterious old immigrant woman keep her home. Jack, Linton, and Sonny just want to find out why the owner of the local football stadium has been plagued by a curse. If only the two groups could stop fighting with each other, they might realize that there’s a shared solution… Of course, when you’re just starting your first year at Griswalds Grammar School, nothing matters quite as much as football, friends, stylish jackets, trading cards, or your nerdy teacher’s fancy wife. And when all of these things are competing for your attention, just how are you supposed to find the time to solve mysteries, anyway? From the hilarious mind of John Allison comes a sophisticated series of mysteries reminiscent of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys that will appeal to readers of all ages.

Fans of the online strip and its predecessor, as well as teens and adults who like a bit of smart snark and sass, will appreciate Allison’s unique humor and offbeat story as well as the Kate Beaton–like (though full-color) art.

Allison is a triple threat: he plots deftly, draws confidently, and writes dead-on adolescent dialogue.
