TROUBLE IN BUGLAND
A Collection of Inspector Mantis Mysteries
These mystery stories are a hilarious homage to and parody of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories and a sheer delight to read, as are Joe Servello's beautiful drawings in ink.
"Excitement and humor! Children who know Conan Doyle's Holmes will most enjoy Trouble in Bugland. But even those who don't are likely to appreciate the book's sly mock seriousness and flights of rhetoric and imagination." The New York Times Book Review
"Clever and suspenseful!"
School Library Journal, starred review
"Sherlock Holmes fans of all ages and entomology nuts must read Trouble in Bugland, a hilarious homage to Arthur Conan Doyle. Illustrator Joe Servello's handsome pictures in color and black and white are a grand accompaniment to Kotzwinkle's clever and playful stories."
Newsweek
"Kotzwinkle and Servello have created a little gem that should appeal to children of all ages. Bravo, Joe and Bill! An encore, perhaps?"
Philadelphia Inquirer
