"Move over, Encyclopedia Brown, and make way for Otto and Sheed Alston. Lamar Giles, master of young adult mysteries and thrillers, finally brings us a book for middle-grade readers. Already legendary detectives in their small Virginia town, the Alston boys dismally face their last day of summer vacation, which, considering they have been inadvertently tricked into freezing time, ends up being the longest day of their lives. A gumshoe adventure with a sci-fi twist, The Last Last-Day-of-Summer is a fast-moving, highly entertaining read. (For ages 10 to 12)"
