Synopsis
A sad scene at a dam, with government agents milling about, jump starts a funny, unusual middle-grade detective series about the antics of the Flint Future Detectives Club and its three members--Steven, Russell, and Zoopy (an extremely large dog). Mr. Chickee, nine-year-old Steven's elderly neighbor, gives him a very bizarre bill, bearing a picture of the singer James Brown, that appears to be worth 15 quadrillion dollars. Soon, Agent Fondoo from the Treasury is on Steven's tail, his parents keep getting in the way, and all the hilariously inventive gadgets in the world won't save the Flint Future Detectives from the trouble that's headed their way. By the author of the Newbery Award-winning BUDDY NOT BUD., Flint Future Detective Club members Steven Carter, his friend Russell, and Russell's huge dog Zoopy solve the mystery of a quadrillion-dollar bill with the image of James Brown on it.

Industry Reviews
"The zany action will appeal to middle-grade readers and the fast pace makes for an excellent read-aloud. Another winner from a master storyteller."
Kirkus (09/15/2005)
"Characters are very interesting but the plot is the important thing here. Curtis presents both adults and children as flawed but brave."
School Library Journal (10/01/2005)
"Curtis is dead-on about how children see adults...."
New York Times Book Review - Rich Cohen (01/15/2006)
"Offering catchy lingo, bigger-than-life predicaments and an array of boldly drawn characters, this book is well aimed at readers in search of an unconventional and comical brand of mystery."
