Whiffy Newton in The Case of the Dastardly Deeds: Volume 1 Lim, Rebecca

**Whiffy Newton in The Case of the Dastardly Deeds: Volume 1** by Rebecca Lim is a delightfully bonkers middle-grade mystery that'll have kids (and sneaky adults) cackling with glee. Our hero Whiffy Newton is a pint-sized detective with a nose for trouble and a talent for stumbling into the most ridiculous criminal capers imaginable.

When mysterious misdeeds start plaguing his neighborhood, Whiffy's determined to crack the case using his questionable detective skills and an arsenal of terrible puns. Think Encyclopedia Brown meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid, with extra helpings of Australian humor and chaos.

Perfect for reluctant readers aged 8-12 who love funny mysteries, quirky characters, and stories that don't take themselves too seriously. Rebecca Lim's background in young adult fiction shines through her spot-on kid dialogue and perfectly pitched comedy.
