The D.E.T.E.C.T.I.V.E. Bureau and the Book Mafia
New series from Jozua Douglas, full of humour
Nominated for the Dutch Children’s Jury Award
A new adventure featuring Lev de Bruin and his father, previously seen in The Nasty Swim Coach, for which Jozua Douglas received the Hotze de Roos Prize and for which film rights have been sold. Can be read separately.
Mr De Bruin still believes that his son has a special talent. When he reads about a crime committed in the library, he thinks Lev should solve it. After all, Lev previously unmasked ‘the nasty swim coach’. According to Mr De Bruin, the accused librarian cannot possibly be the culprit. While trying to prove this, he himself accidentally becomes the police’s main suspect. Lev is then forced to take action, whether he likes it or not.
Praise:
‘All children love Jozua Douglas. Full of funny ideas, he posts hilarious videos on YouTube. The D.E.T.E.C.T.I.V.E. Bureau and the Book Mafia is equally humorous, both in text and in the drawings by Geert Gratama. A book that keeps you reading, for all ages.’ – Algemeen Dagblad
‘The author once again provides a wonderfully relaxed and splendid story, which will have you grinning from ear to ear.’ – NBD Biblion
