"There’s a weird smell of sardines around here, and someone super-creepy has been skulking around near the pump-house. I think there might some mischief afoot."

When Dash and his classmates start coming down with blue spots all over their faces, nobody knows what’s going on. But Dash has his suspicions. Does it have something to do with the Face-Pulling Championships later in the day? Dash needs to act, and fast!

This is the second in the DASH CANDOO kids’ book series - a collection of illustrated mysteries for 6-9 year olds from NYT Bestselling authors Ralph Lazar and Lisa Swerling.

The star is Dash Candoo, an ingenious problem-solver with a bottomless backpack of gadgets and fantastic friends. Their adventures explore universal themes of friendship, courage and ingenuity.
