About This Book
This thrilling chapter book, part of 'The Invisible Detectives' series, plunges young readers into 1930s London where a group of four resourceful children, the Cannoniers, secretly operate as the famed 'Invisible Detective.' In 'Ghost Soldiers,' their investigation into a haunted house leads them to a sinister plot involving a mad scientist, mutant soldiers, and the looming threat of war. The story masterfully blends historical fiction with elements of mystery, adventure, and science fiction, offering a fast-paced narrative with a parallel subplot in the 2000s featuring Art's grandson. It's ideal for children aged 8-12 who enjoy intricate plots, strong friendships, and a touch of the eerie.
While investigating a haunted house, the Cannoiers discover a group of scientists who are creating an army of indestructible mutant soldiers to fight the Germans in pre-World War II London.
