Review
Praise for The Treasure of Dead Mans Lane and Other Case Files (Book 2):
“The canny preteen sleuth introduced in The Curse of the Ancient Mask and Other Case Files returns for three more unusually meaty mysteries—all solved with a combination of sharp observation and sharper deductive logic—in this second book in the Saxby Smart, Private Detective series. Outstanding fare for young armchair Sherlocks.” —Booklist, starred review
“Middle-grader Saxby Smart is back in his Thinking Chair for three more stories in this second volume of his mystery series. Generously dappled with Alleys breezy line drawings, the cases are timely and twisting enough to keep the light bulb bright in the young sleuths mind.” —Kirkus Reviews
