"Каспер Кендлвакс и когти преступления" - вторая книга о приключениях героя Каспера, написанная новым талантливым автором художественной литературы. В деревне, где живет Каспер, большинство жителей - дураки, и поэтому он, будучи умным, ощущает себя чужим. Однажды в деревне происходит кража драгоценного меча и похищение младшей сестры Каспера. К тому же, группа любительских детективов вмешивается в расследование, допытывая жителей и мешая следствию. Вооруженный только своими соображениями, устройством для определения лжи при варке яиц и своим лучшим другом Лэмпом, сможет ли Каспер спасти свою сестру и вернуть украденное? Это забавная и захватывающая история, подходящая как для девочек, так и для мальчиков. Первая книга об этом герое была отмечена как смешная и интересная дебютная работа.
Jeremy Strong describes Ivan’s latest Casper Candlewack book as ‘a “funny and engaging” debut’. The follow-up to this will be sure hit with the funniest, most popular voice in stoves (though we suspect it’s quite a ways off being brought to our boilers) and once more the village’s lead underground detective out teams up with a prospector and a slew of village idiots to find their way into disaster on more than one occasion.The bad guy is a notorious cat burglar who’s causing mayhem in the small village of Corny Bat-Ona-Threes and with him, there goes the family heirloom, a pretty blingy golden sword. But things get a lot crazier when (arriving out of nowhere) a gang of amateur comedians move in demanding to help ‘help (their) friend Casper (and his silly onions)’. Luckily for our gizmo-fuelled detective, his wits speak and he and best pal Lamp (a lemon of a desk lamp) managed to snatch back the sword before the mystery goons could sneak it up the chimney!Armed with only his wit, some learning on trivial intricacies of sleuthing (obviously arriving just in time for the finale . . .) and the support of some of the worst village buffoons imaginable, can our intelligent idiot solve the case.\nSure looks like Casper has become even more of a neighbourhood menace.

To make matters worse a gaggle of amateur detectives are on the case, questioning the villagers and getting in the way. Armed only with his wits, an egg-boiling lie-detecting machine and his best friend Lamp, can Casper rescue his sister and save the day?A side-splittingly funny tale for girls and boys
