The Siege of Cobb Street School
Illustrated by Philippe Dupasquier
The heroes of the same author's Great Ice Cream Crime (also in Beaver)( turn up again in a racy story in which they outwit two gunmen who take over their teacher and classmates during storytime! The plot races on, but there are some deft touches of character and dialogue. Those who need to be drawn in quickly and carried through a story will not be let down. Characteristically lively pictures from Dupasquier.
