A famous picture is in danger of being stolen, the headquarters of the Circle of the Aficionados of Checkers has been robbed and an elusive pickpocket strikes at the celebrations to mark the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Lower Limewood.

Reviews / Votes
It's very much a traditional - without feeling particularly dated though - children's detective series, which I enjoyed very much and I am confident that young British readers will embrace it as much as their Polish counterparts * The School Librarian * Flisak's strong, distinctive ink drawings help define characters while underscoring the stories' gentle humor... a pleasing addition to the series * Booklist * Every bit as good as the previous two in this series for junior crime fighters * Philosophy Football *More details
