WHIZ TANNER AND THE PHONY MASTERPIECE by Fred Rexroad | Kirkus Reviews
But Rexroad does introduce modern investigative tools and techniques like geotagging, drones, and pattern-recognition programs, which are used to good effect in solving the mystery. Two young detectives investigate a rash of burglaries while assisting a visiting stage magician in this middle-grade adventure sequel.
Then the items disappeared—almost like magic. Rexroad Whiz Tanner and the Phony Masterpiece , , etc. There are no real red herrings among possible suspects, though, making it easy to see the link between one of the characters and the thefts. But Rexroad does complicate the story with an unexpected motive, among other elements. The finale offers a satisfying payoff. In this debut novel, Whiz Tanner is a genius sixth-grader who investigates mysteries in his small hometown of Jasper Springs. His wish is granted when an exhibition of famous forged paintings comes to the town museum, and he and Joey suspect one of them has been switched for a cheap fake.
The plot thickens when the suspicious work is stolen—by someone dressed as an astronaut. The plot is engaging, with plenty of twists and turns, but observant readers may be able to put together some of the resolution before the end. But young readers who enjoy these kinds of gumshoe tales should still savor the story.
