It’s the new funniest mystery detective series ever, from the genius behind the bestselling Barry Loser books!
Things are about to get SUPER WEIRD. When Melvin moves from the city to Donut (a perfectly round island with a hole in the middle), he thinks it’s the most rubbish place ever. Then he meets Rhubarb. Rhubarb is OBSESSED with mysteries and has her own school newspaper to investigate the strange goings on in Donut. (Unfortunately nothing ever happens in Donut so she’s never had anything to write about.) But then Melvin notices that the kids at school are acting very strangely. Could it be something to do with the Donut Hole Monsters that everyone is collecting? Soon Melvin and Rhubarb are on the trail of a mystery – one that is going to lead them right into the centre of the donut hole& And Rhubarb might actually have something to write about in her newspaper, if they make it out alive. Will they get to the bottom of the Donut Hole Monster mystery before it’s too late and the whole town is brainwashed? Super Weird Mysteries is a hilarious new series, perfect for readers aged 7 and up, and fans of DogMan, Pamela Butchart and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

I enjoyed this book but i didn't find it as interesting as I thought it would. Some parts were a little boring with not much happening until the mystery scenes when the story picked up. I would recommend this book to others who like mystery stories.

I like the sayings and the funniness and I like comics so it's good. I don't like the black and white pictures.
Professor Catapult Mystery 07.08.2024
I liked this book because it was comic related, a type of book I have never tried before. I liked the front cover because it had lots of colour. l thought it was pretty cool that the town was shaped like a donut and that everything had the word 'Donut' before it like 'Donut Supermarket' and 'Donut Bowling'. I would recommend this book to my friend James, because he loves to read comic books like this one.
General August Pudding-Basin 30.08.2023
I liked this book because I liked it where Hector got controlled by the donut hole monsters
Baroness July Godzilla 10.08.2023
It was really good I recommend it to all ages. It was scary and fun at the same time. My favourite characters would probably Rhubarb, she is really funny and I like her curiosity.

It’s funny
Viscount Raccoon Quagmire 28.07.2023
It was amazingly funny and made me laugh all the way through! Cartoons with an ordinary life but is still mystery solvers. When Melvin arrives at his new town (donut ) but he does not know plastic toys could do so much harm. From the creators of Barry Loser.
Captain Tuesday Pumpernickel 11.07.2023
It was very funny with the toys turning into a monster that was like jelly.
Dame Flossy Fascination 10.07.2023
My favourite by far. From my favourite author as well
Chief Trigger Palm-tree 20.08.2022
It was very funny and imaginative. My favorite character was most likely Deidre Pebble because she collected empty jam jars.

Inspector Peanuts Mildew 15.07.2022
This is an exciting mystery book with strange evil toys. I think it is great for 8y olds.
Principal Blueberry Stegosaurus 21.02.2022
This was soooo hilarious! I loved it! The main character (and my favourite character) was Melvin (a school boy). He joins Rubarb (his school freind) to solve the mysery of the donut hole monsters.
Count Adolpho Hoverboard 05.09.2021
This book was really funny because there was funny stuff: like someone going mad because of toys. This is the first book of a series, and I would suggest this to anyone who likes silly stuff happening in books and people who like mysteries.
Astronaut River Sunshine 25.08.2021

wasn't a very good story.
Viscountess Iggy Arlington 21.08.2021
It was a real mystery to me, to see different adventures and things, like the slime monster. I liked the book a lot. It was funny too, and very mysterious. I like the 'Cool Doods' the best because they were wearing cool clothes and acting cool. I would recommend it to people who like a good mystery. Because the would laugh along and enjoy the book.
