Have you ever daydreamed about being a detective? Investigating mysteries and solving crimes? Well, those are exactly the things Steve Brixton dreams of doing, just like his favorite supersleuths The Bailey Brothers. Steve consults his copy of The Bailey Brothers Detective Handbook constantly and is always on the lookout for any suspicious activity. But what Steve never thought would happen is that he would be mistaken for a REAL detective AND become a fugitive from the law. And just where did this case of mistaken identity take place? At the library!! While Steve is trying to check out a book for a school assignment all kinds of craziness happens and he is surrounded by secret-agent Librarians who believe he holds the key to solving a mystery. And no matter how much he tells them, nobody believes that Steve is just an average 12 year-old. Everyone is convinced that he is a REAL detective. Will Steve be able to rise to the challenges before him? Can he solve this case? And will he have time to write his paper? Find out in The Case of the Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett.
