The Crazy Case Of Missing Thunder (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
A morning thunderstorm, a tulip garden, and a bag of potting soil help the Goofballs find Randall Crandall's flower-loving horse, Thunder. This goofy, pint-sized detective agency solved the Famous Riddle of the Exploding Rat Balloon, the Mystery of the Six-Fingered Ghost, the Episode of the Flying First Grader, and the Unbelievable Affair of the Totally Incredible Pizza Disaster before their exploits were ever committed to paper. In this wonderful new series by Tony Abbott, there are outrageous disguises, strange inventions, and a pun a minute! My kids and I read this book together in a day. A quick and entertaining read aloud. The Goofballs reminded me a lot of the Goonies (Yes, from the movie) though not as intense. I'm curious to see what the other books in the series will be like. On a more practical level, the book is a good introduction to note-taking. Lead Goofball, Jeff, writes down clues in his notebook (modeling the use of keywords for recall).
