Poison Moon

By Ailynn Collins and Amerigo Pinelli

When Enzo Ma travels to Saturn's moon Titan to visit his friend, Jed Cresta, things are about to get complicated. When Enzo meets Jed's teacher and mentor, Dr. Penelope Lane, she seems short-tempered and behaves strangely. Later that night, Dr. Lane's behavior grows even more bizarre at a party honoring one of her fellow scientists. The next morning when she doesn't show up at the lab, Enzo and Jed decide to go to her quarters to see if she's okay. But when they arrive they discover Dr. Lane's dead body—sitting on her couch with a book lying at her feet. Later the authorities find evidence that seems to show that Jed is responsible for her death. But why would Jed want his mentor dead? And why was Dr. Lane behaving so strangely the night before? It's up to Enzo to uncover the truth and save his friend during his visit on the Poison Moon!

DETECTIVES OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

Sherlock Holmes is my hero. He is the Great Detective. I discovered him back in the 4th grade, and I’ve been reading about his adventures ever since. He can solve the most puzzling mysteries from the tiniest of clues. Nothing is impossible to him.

BUT—could Sherlock solve the weird, modern mysteries in these books? Could he figure out how a passenger disappears from a plane that’s flying 30,000 feet in the air? Could he solve the puzzle of how a person seems to shrink to microscopic size? Would he crack the cases of a dead body that falls out of an empty cabinet, or how someone is poisoned inside a locked room? Read on and see if you can outdo Sherlock by solving these mysteries yourself. Or … are they simply impossible?
