Sherlock Holmes meets the Wayside School in this Middle Grade supernatural sleuthing graphic novel about the Flick brothers – four siblings searching for explanations to outbreaks of supernatural strangeness and otherworldly weirdness in their Edwardian-era hometown.    

A bump in the night? They’re on the case! At Strander House, things are…weird. There’s an ogre wedged in the closet, and you have to be careful not to slip on the leak coming from the ocean in the attic. What’s possibly weirder than the fact that you can walk into the bathroom and end up in next Tuesday are the four brothers who investigate these strange supernatural occurrences…the Brothers Flick!

Leo, Desmond, Remy, and Cub seek to get to the bottom of every shadow you swear you saw move. If they happen to stumble upon answers to the mysterious disappearance of their own family along the way, all the better.   For fans of  Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Gravity Falls, Whispering Pines, the Hardy Boys, the Winterhouse series, the Greenglass House series, and the Wayside School series!

Reviews:

“… the metaphor of “impossible doors” leading toward unending universes, where even the smallest changes reverberate, provides a unique framework for themes of grief and healing.”   – Publishers Weekly

“…enjoyable.” – Kirkus

“… this graphic novel will attract mystery and adventure fans by the droves…”     — Kirkus

“… a “Jonny Quest meets the Hardy Boys” vibe with a few modern twists…”  — Kirkus

Why Should You Read This?

Every page is an adventure, and every character is magic. Written for the middle grade audience, this book had me entralled. All the four brothers have unique characters, and different strengths. Remy and Leo were my personal favorite, but Cub also won my heart. The illustrations are beautiful, Vidisha, and eye-capturing. The story is full of life lessons that you would want a middle grader to learn. The book touches on themes of acceptance, friendship, kindness, and helping others. A definite recommendations. A winner through and through.
