Mr. Pin: The Chocolate Files

Will Mr. Pin survive a “case” of bad chocolate? Can priceless dinosaur eggs be found? And just who is Mort Chisel? In a second story, an opera conductor with a mysterious name disappears in a cloud of blue smoke. Rave Reviews for Mr. Pin Books: “Two more neatly plotted adventures of the penguin detective … staccato, deadpan delivery in whimsical parody of Dashiell Hammett … genuinely funny, brief mysteries.”—Kirkus An IRA/CBC Children’s Choice “Kids will like this penguin detective … and will cheer him on.”—ALA Booklist “An inviting, non-threatening, easy chapter book.”—School Library Journal
