Whiffy Newton in the Case of the Dastardly Deeds

Whiffy Newton #1

by Rebecca Lim

Whiffy Newton, real first name Alfred, hardly looks like a crack amateur super-sleuth.

His clothes are too short and too tight. He never gets picked first for sports. And he has poor eyesight.

But he's got his two best friends - Doreen and Paz - and together, the three friends form the detective outfit The Agency.

Until now, The Agency has only handled the discreet enquiries of other put upon children at Kentwood High. But The Case of the Dastardly Deeds sees them take on their biggest, their craziest, their most dangerous, case yet.
