The Crazy Case of Missing Thunder (6 page)

Jeff Bunter
is the #1, original Goofball. Jeff was born to solve mysteries. He is in charge of keeping track of clues in his ever-present cluebook. He says that a private eye has to notice everything—because you never know what might be a clue!

Brian Rooney
is Jeff’s best friend. He’s an inventor who loves to build crazy things that don’t always work but that look really cool and help the Goofballs solve mysteries.

Mara Lubin
is as tall as a fashion model, as skinny as a rake handle, and wears giant green glasses. She’s also a master of amazing disguises.

Kelly Smitts
is as smart as a computer, but she doesn’t look like one. Unless a computer is really short, really suspicious, and has curly yellow hair.

Sparky
is the official Goofdog. He’s Jeff’s scruffy Pembroke Welsh corgi and he herds clues to help the Goofballs in every case.
Goof! Goof!

t’s the Crime of the Century. Badger Point Elementary is gearing up for its 100th anniversary, but the statue of the first principal has gone missing.

And the Goofballs are on the case with Mara’s kooky disguises, Brian’s bizarre inventions that might or might not work, really silly puns that will twist your brain, grated cheese that will twist your stomach, and a ton of stuff that has nothing to do with anything!

With Sparky the Goofdog staying after school, the Goofballs comb the halls, climb the walls, and crawl into a piano for clues, but will they find the statue in time?
