Brown offers yet another pleasurable chapter-book read, the fifth in the series, featuring his cast of familiar, likable characters. This time, Brown uses two points of view to tell the story: words from Arthur's best buddy Buster Baxter open each chapter, which then unravels in third-person perspective. Brand-new private-eye Buster has been dying for a case to solve, and his big chance arrives when Arthur is accused of stealing quarters raised in a fund drive. Thanks to thorough, step-by-step questioning and resourceful detective work, Buster breaks the case wide open -- just in time for Arthur to go on the third-grade picnic. An entertaining bit of clever crime-solving, with a scattering of black-and-white illustrations; Arthur's many fans won't be disappointed.
