Synopsis

Fletcher Moon has never been like other kids. For one thing, he has had to suffer the humiliating nickname “Half Moon” because of his short stature. But the real reason Fletcher is different is that ever since he was a baby he's had a nose for sniffing out mysteries. And let’s just say, it's not a skill that has been appreciated by many people, including his own family.

That doesn’t bother Fletcher, though. After graduating at the top of his Internet class, he is officially certified as the youngest detective in the world. He even has a silver-plated detective’s badge to prove it. Everything is going along fine until two things happen: a classmate hires him to solve a crime, and his prized badge is stolen. All signs point to the town’s most notorious crime family, the Sharkeys.

As Fletcher follows the clues, evidence of a conspiracy begins to emerge. But before he can crack the case, Fletcher finds himself framed for a serious crime. To clear his name, he will have to pair up with the unlikeliest of allies and go on the run from the authorities. Fletcher has 12 hours to find the guilty party—or he is the guilty party.

My name is Moon. Fletcher Moon. And I'm a private detective. In my twelve years on this spinning ball we call Earth, I've seen a lot of things normal people never see.

An absolutely charming and delightful middle-grade mystery set in Ireland. Fletcher Moon is a budding detective, called upon by schoolmates to solve neighborhood crimes.

A solid book for the younger set. I picked this one up after reading his more famous series, Artemis Fowl, and not really enjoying it. I realize these books are for a younger audience but in both I feel like the protagonists have too much of a know it all streak in them. At least in Half Moon Invest......more
