Hey, gumshoe, are you up for our weekly video challenge? Watch the evidence and try to guess the correct book.
Believe it or not, the author of this week’s mystery book series dreamed up his three main characters when he was in kindergarten! It took quite a few more years before the rest of the world could meet them, but now anyone can see their adventures in the published graphic novels — and sometime in the future, movie-goers will hang out with them in theaters too.
In the meantime, check out our video introduction to this trio of unlikely heroes. And afterwards, send in your guess for the series. We’ll name the first person to get it right in our next podcast!
