| “A graphic mystery for the elementary-school set . . . For readers looking for something spirited, smart, and spicy, this definitely fits the bill.” —Booklist (starred review) Marin loves the sandwiches his parents make for him—every day they’re different and more delicious than the last. One morning, someone dares to steal his favorite sandwich: ham-cheddar-kale. Furious, Marin begins a fevered and famished investigation to unmask the thief. The days go by, the suspects multiply, and Marin’s sandwiches continue to disappear. This droll, graphic caper is a funny school mystery exploring the high stakes of low blood sugar. The first in a series, the book’s witty text and graphic illustrations make this perfect for early and advanced readers alike—and for anyone who’s been the victim of lunchtime crime. “Artist Patrick Doyon makes every single page an eclectic experience . . . for any kid that comes in looking for a fun read with a mystery component.” —School Library Journal “A tempest in a lunchbox, but just deserts are dished up in a lip-smacking denouement.” —Kirkus Reviews “To do something that feels fresh with this sub-genre is no easy feat, which makes André Marois and Patrick Doyon’s very funny The Sandwich Thief all the more remarkable . . . A masterful example of how to build tension and atmosphere in children’s literature, both in the text and the illustrations.” —Kinderlit |
