Of course, Brownie had to get his own book.  After all, he is a celebrity after doing such great deeds as rescuing all the adults in his family from a crazed killer and tassering Matt Lauer on national television. All this took place in a previous novel, of course. Now, Brownie may seem like a terror to all, but he is way more than that, and I guarantee you that you will love him as you get to know him. Imagine a really smart Dennis the Menace, and you have Brownie. Brownie is foisted off on his Texas relatives for spring break vacation. To keep the precocious boy busy, his aunt gives him "gumshoe" books to read. Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammet become his heroes.  He then watches an old copy of The Maltese Falcon, and the writing is on the wall. Brownie Snoddy will be the next great crime solver in Pegramville, east Texas. This may sound like a children's book, but I laughed my way through it, and I am no child.
