Condition AS NEW

Half Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer is a sharp, humorous mystery novel that follows Fletcher Moon, a twelve-year-old with a detectives badge and a mind for solving crimes. Unlike Colfers fantasy-driven Artemis Fowl series, this book dives into the gritty world of schoolyard conspiracies and petty thefts, all wrapped in a noir-style narrative thats both playful and clever.

Fletcher is hired to investigate a theft but quickly finds himself framed for a much bigger crime. To clear his name, he teams up with Red Sharkey, a boy from a family with a reputation for trouble. Their unlikely partnership leads them through a tangled web of secrets, rivalries, and sabotage, all set in the fictional town of Lock.

The story balances classic detective tropes with middle-grade humor, making it a standout for readers who enjoy mystery with a rebellious twist. Fletchers dry wit and analytical approach give the book a tone thats both smart and entertaining. It was adapted into a BBC television series in 2009, which brought the characters and setting to life for a younger audience.
