A thrilling mystery and sci-fi adventure written by Timothy Luckcock at age ten - finally published sixteen years later!
When ten-year-old Jake dreams of becoming a detective, he never imagines where his curiosity will lead. What begins with a mysterious lodger and a string of strange events soon turns into a journey across haunted houses, eerie noises, earthquakes, and even outer space.
From solving clues in his hometown to rescuing his parents from aliens on a distant planet, Jake faces every challenge with courage, creativity, and heart. Along the way, he learns what it truly means to be brave, and discovers that even the smallest detective can take on the biggest mysteries.
