Named one of "13 Detective Book Series You Obsessed over as a Kid" by Buzzfeed.com and the inspiration for a hit Disney film, the masterful Great Mouse Detective series is now available to a whole new generation of readers!
Basil—the famous sleuth of mousedom—lives in the cellar of Sherlock Holmes's house. A devoted admirer of the great detective, he has learned his craft by listening at the feet of Holmes himself. But will it be enough to help Basil solve his most baffling mystery yet?

The Mystery of the Missing Twins is one of the strangest cases in Basil's career. With only a few crumbs of clues with which to find answers, how is he ever going to figure out where Angela and Agatha are being kept—and, of course, who mouse-napped them! Will Basil's mouse sleuthing skills be up to the task of finding the twins before it's too late?

      Gr 2-4-Basil lives in the cellar of the great Sherlock Holmes, where he's picked up a thing or two about sleuthing. Along with dear friend and associate Dr. Dawson, the wee mouse sets about investigating the mouse-napping of twins Agatha and Angela. Many young readers may not realize that the popular animated Disney film by the same name was based upon this charming series by Titus, originally published in 1958 and out of print (other than the Disney movie tie-in versions) for some time. Mystery lovers rejoice-this is a perfect series for fans of Ron Roy who are ready for something a bit meatier. Keep an eye out for book 2 in May 2016.-Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal

      These amiable books for independent readers star Basil, the "Sherlock Holmes of the Mouse World." The master detective is introduced in Baker Street, where he solves a kidnapping mystery. In Cave of Cats, Basil travels to "the Orient" to help the Maharajah of Bengistan and solve an archeological mystery. Galdone's black-and-white illustrations add humor to the parodies.
