Campy Children's Mystery

The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen is an extremely campy and fun children's book. Written for 10-12 year olds, the book pokes obvious fun at the older "series" books. The main characters are all stars of their own book series, many of which fall into the trap of cliche and stock writing. Regardless of your age, if you enjoyed reading Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew, you will enjoy this modern spoof of a mystery.

P.S. Nobody really dies in this book - but many series are murdered by satire.
