The Scrapyard Detectives are on the case! Join Robert, Jinn and
Raymond as they solve the mysteries that affect their community, and learn valuable lessons about teamwork and diversity.
Collecting issues #1-3 of the ongoing all ages comic book series, this volume features three exciting stories. In “The Case of the Missing Roses”, a new family from India moves into the neighborhood. It’s up to the Scrapyard Detectives to find out who vandalized their garden- and why!
In “Patriot Dreams”, the new multi-cultural community center brings people from other backgrounds to the neighborhood, but someone sets it ablaze- with Jinn and Raymond inside! Will the detectives save themselves and solve the mystery in time?
In “A Friend in Need”, the detectives split apart over multiple cases, one involving Raymond’s friend, Ben Crenshaw, who’s turning into a bully. With so many cases to solve, the Scrapyard Detectives have to work especially hard. But with so much prejudice, can they still work together as a team? Written by New York Times Bestselling author Jesse Leon McCann!
Last but not least, Eisner award winner Batton Lash pens a special back up story- the origin of the Scrapyard Detectives! Plus special pin ups and an introduction by J.M. DeMatteis!
