Science super-sleuths Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey are back - this time in a never-before-published addition to the popular series! They've got an exciting collection of cases, too: Are ghosts and ghouls keeping Edgar Glum awake? Have aliens invaded Mossy Swamp? What's the crooked game everyone's losing at the carnival?
