Edgar Allan's Official Crime Investigation Handbook

First, Slurpy the goldfish gets fishnapped! Then, other things in Ms. Herschel's classroom start to disappear. Odder still, the culprit leaves poetry behind. Whatever fishy business is going on, Edgar plans to uncover it with the help of his crime investigation notebook. But Edgar has a rival. Know-it-all Patrick Chen plans to solve the case first with totally unfair help from his forensic-specialist father. With parents who are clowns, Edgar knows he is on his own. Or is he? Can prime suspects become crime solving partners? As Edgar investigates, he discovers a secret about friendship that will change his whole life. (From the back cover.)
