So now it’s time for the gang, with Tim, a descendent of their original canine companion, to return to the Zoinx River Valley in Oregon, retrace their steps, and try to figure out, once and for all, what happened that summer.
One member, Peter, the jock, got famous in Hollywood and died, suddenly, surprisingly, possibly a victim of the long-ago mystery. The BSDC never reformed after that summer, and the human members - Andy, the tomboy, Kerri, the bookworm, Nate, the nerd - have been haunted by the case ever since. That case saw the gang get headlines, and sent a man to jail for more than a decade, but it also split the group. And that’s really too bad Meddling Kids, the second English-language novel from the Barcelona-based Cantero, is a pop-culture gem, a hipster cartoon with surprising depths.Ĭantero largely avoids the pitfalls of nostalgia by setting Meddling Kids thirteen years after the kids of the Blyton Summer Detective Club solved their biggest, and final, case, the mystery of Deboen Mansion and the Sleepy Lake Monster. You must go for it.If you’re the kind of person for whom the phrase “I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids” doesn’t immediately elicit a smile - if not a full-blown flashback to Saturday mornings of cartoons and soggy cereal - you probably won’t see the appeal of the new novel from Edgar Cantero.
But some listeners couldn’t figure out whether it is a satirical story or a serious thriller? Overall, it is a good read. The story will take you back to your childhood days, it will be giving you a nostalgic charm. It is their only chance to know what happened all the years before. After thirteen years of solving the last case, they again reunite to solve the mystery. They are getting nightmares and trying to get a clue about the source of all this. They all are tormented by the haunted house memories in which they stayed by the lake. They solved their last mystery in 1977 against the Lake monster.
Now that they all have grown up, they have not seen them in so many years. The story is about the teens who use to be in a detective club. The book somehow is based on detective activities like it was in the Scooby-Doo. While having an interesting plot it will engage you till the end. The book presents the journey of five former detective children.
