We shall be detectives, Sponge! exclaimed Mildew. We shall solve the
Mystery of the School Spoon!

Mildew and Sponge dont think much of Maudlin Towers, the blackened,
gloom-laden, gargoyle-infested monstrosity that is their school. But when
somebody steals the School Spoon and the teachers threaten to cancel the
Christmas holidays until the culprit is found, our heroes must spring into
action and solve the crime!

But what starts out as a classic bit of detectivating quickly becomes weirder
than they could have imagined. Who is the ghost in the attic? Whats their
history teacher doing with a time machine? And why do a crazy bunch of Vikings
seem to think Mildew is a werewolf?

Hugely funny, deliciously creepy and action-packed by turns, this brand new
series from Chris Priestley is perfect for 8+ readers who like their mysteries
with a bit of bite. Fans of Lemony Snicket and Chris Riddell will love Curse of
the Werewolf Boy.
