DAMIAN
DROOTH SUPERSLEUTH

Barbara Mitchelhill
Illustrated by Tony Ross
Published by Andersen Press
Barbara
says: When I was eight or nine, I used to pretend I was a detective,
just like Damian. My friend, Liz, and I used to watch people walking
down our street and we would write 'clues' in our notebooks. I don't
remember catching any criminals!
