Case of the Mossy Lake Monster

Michele Torrey has a degree in microbiology and immunology. In addition to the Doyle & Fossey mysteries she has written many others books for young people. Barbara Johansen Newman's work has been featured in national magazines, newspapers, calendars, cards and more than a dozen books for children.

“Torrey, a microbiologist as well as a talented writer, skillfully injects the scientific method and principles into each case, and an appendix offers humorously written experiments and activities that relate to each case.” —Kirkus“Torrey introduces basic scientific principles like electrons, protons, neutrons, and hypotheses at a level that doesn’t intimidate children.”—The Seattle Press“The book is a fast, easy read and fun way to learn about some everyday scientific principles.”—Booklist
