Hidden Headlines: A Seymour Clues Mystery

by John Solomon, Ali Elzeiny (Illustrator)

Hidden Headlines, written by John Solomon, an award-winning investigative journalist, author, and digital media entrepreneur follows a detective by the name of Seymour Clues and his sidekick Mr. Mouse as they seek to uncover the source of a mysterious blockage in the Tubular Tubes, the system which circulates news throughout the city. As they investigate they are met with all kinds of deception and distractions. However, through their dedication to finding the truth, Seymour Clues and Mr. Mouse eventually uncover the true villain and their evil plot, but not before they give readers the chance to solve the mystery on their own based off of the clues on each page.

While this story is fun and enthralling for children ages 4-12, it also conveys a powerful lesson that many adults in today’s society would do well to learn. Hidden Headlines teaches that not everything proliferated through the public is the truth, nor does everyone who shares information have the people’s best interests at heart.

This is a fun story about a koala that tries to manipulate the news for his own financial gain. This story is by John Solomon & written to teach kids the importance of the freedom of Press. Like with all Brave Books, it has fun adventures in the back, for kids to learn more.
