About the author
Elizabeth Levy
195 books67 followersElizabeth Levy has been writing and publishing books for over thirty years and sometimes now she meets kids whose parents read her books when they were children! She has written over 80 books, a number that continues to surprise her, as it surprises her how long she's been at it.
Over the years they've printed lots of her books - over five million of them.
She loves to try writing different types of books - everything from funny mysteries to novels about kids who get in trouble to history.
One of the most pleasant surprises about writing is that she's been invited to travel all over the country and even the world speaking to children, teachers, and librarians. She's made some wonderful friendships and gotten lots of ideas for her books. One of the most special treats is that kids have drawn wonderful pictures of one of her favorite characters, Fletcher.
She grew up in Buffalo, New York, then went to Brown University, where she majored in history. When she graduated, she came to New York City and worked for ABC-TV and then for Senator Robert Kennedy. She has lived in New York ever since, and she loves it. She knows all the best places for salami, she has run four marathons, and she has completed many 5-borough bike tours, so she thinks she really knows this place well.
At certain times of the year, she can be found out at Shea Stadium watching her team, the New York Mets. She has always loved baseball.
Mostly she enjoys hanging out with her friends. They spend lots of time going to movies or plays, playing sports, having meals together.
When she's alone and not writing, she is usually reading. She reads mysteries a lot, always has, which is probably why many of her books are mysteries.

When Fletcher, the lead dog howler for Jill and Gwen's new rock 'n' roll band disappears, they must work fast to find him before a television contest.
Good old Fletcher the basset hound! Where else can you get sentences like "Fletcher flew after the fleeing fiendish French Fry." The French Fry, of course, is a kid dressed up as part of a music group named The Potatoes.

This is an entertaining story in the Something Queer Mysteries series by Elizabeth Levy. It's a fun hybrid between a graphic novel and a chapter book. It has lots of illustrations and short chapters and is a fairly quick read.
I thought the mystery was engaging, even if the mystery is somewhat predictable. We enjoyed reading this book together and are a little sad that we've only been able to find a couple of the books in this series at our local library. I actually purchased this one and we donated to our local library after we finished reading it.

Kind of lame, for how awesome this series is. Though the dependence on all these new characters stupid and hated their song.
