In this "buggy, kid-friendly" (School Library Journal, starred review) animal mystery, Bugopolis's greatest detective takes on his tastiest case yet--the hunt for a missing crumb!
Sherlock Roach and his loyal partner Dr. Wormston are more than just a detective duo--they're friends who always stick together. When a very important crumb vanishes without a trace, the pair hunts for clues throughout the insect underworld in a mystery that's easy to follow, fun to read, and filled with laughs. Can they crack the case before all the crumbs disappear for good?
