THE TIME DETECTIVES: THE WITCH OF NIGHTMARE AVENUE & THE PIRATES OF THE DARK PARK Cases 1 & 2

In the town of Duckpool on the Cornwall coast, Katie Bucket and her team of crack detectives--tough-guy Pete Plank, computer-wiz Gary Grint, and rich brat Mabel Tweed--find the truth about historical events in order to resolve events in the present. Jill Shilling reads these Time Detectives adventures with a furious enthusiasm that has the intensity of a precocious 10-year-old. This volume collects the first two books: THE WITCH OF NIGHTMARE AVENUE, in which Katie and her crew learn the truth about witch trials and witches, real and imagined, and THE PIRATES OF THE DARK PARK, in which they find the historical facts behind pirate legends. Learning history has never been so fun. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 07]
