The Sherlock Society Art Attack (MG)

Alex, Yadi, Lena, and Zoe are on the case.  This time, a building developer wants them to find the infamous graffiti artist Funky Munky so he can hire that person to paint a mural on the side of his new building.  Their investigation leads them to many artists, but how to know which one is Funky Munky when Funky Munky doesn’t want to be found, and how to talk to the person?  The team, along with some of Grandpa’s, contacts, led them into the world of graffiti art and all the colors and little quirks of each individual artist that makes it up. 

As always, Mr. Ponti has come up with another wonderful mystery to solve.  The plot is great I loved reading about graffiti and the artistic differences that make it up, but the way the kids come up with a way to solve this mystery is out of the box thinking that has to be respected, as long as they don’t end up in the clink doing it.  This book is action packed and full of suspense.  It does involve a bit of some plot twists and turns.  But it is a wonderful book that is good for all middle graders, and above, as well as reluctant readers, budding sleuths and artists.  I can’t wait for more books from Mr. Ponti as I am also a huge fan of the City Spies as well.
