Prisoners in Devil's Bog: A Skippy Dare Mystery Story

Skippy Dare is an orphan with one ambition: to become a detective. When he walks into the International Detective Agency, he finds himself in an enchanted world of revolving doors and marble floors, a palace of mystery where great sleuths like Carlton Conne solve impossible crimes. But the receptionist laughs him out of the office. Undeterred, the resourceful boy improvises a way in, and his nerve catches Conne's eye. The famous detective offers Skippy something dangerous: a chance to go undercover at a reform school called Devil's Bog, where a criminal network may be operating in plain sight. For a young boy hungry to prove himself, this is everything he's ever wanted. But the stakes are higher than he imagined, and the criminals he's hunting are watching closely. A rollicking adventure from 1920s America, this is a story about a boy's determination to transform himself from nobody into someone worth remembering.
