It all starts here: The thrilling story of Steve Bixton's first case. Our hero has a national treasure to recover, a criminal mastermind to unmask, and a social studies report due Monday -- all while on the run from cops, thugs, and secret-agent librarians.

Since when can librarians rappel from helicopters? Does Steve have any brothers or sisters? If not, then why is this series called The Brixton Brothers? You will solve all these mysteries and many more by the time you finish The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity.

When Billy Twitters neglects to clean his room, among other things, his mom threatens to buy him a blue whale. So Billy figures he's safe--where the heck's she gonna get a blue whale--and continues his slovenly ways. Then one day, an oversized package arrives, and guess who has to sign for it? And feed it? And bring it to school? And back home again? If Mrs. Twitters thinks Billy's has time to clean his room now, she's got another thing coming. Luckily Billy comes up with the perfect solution.
