Fletcher Moon has never been like other kids. For one thing, he has had to suffer the humiliating nickname "Half Moon" because of his short stature. But the real reason Fletcher is different is that ever since he was a baby, he's had a nose for sniffing out mysteries. And after graduating at the top of his Internet class, he is officially certified as the youngest detective in the world. He even has a silver-plated detective's badge to prove it. Everything is going along fine until two things happen: a classmate hires him to solve a crime, and his prized badge is stolen. All signs point to the town's most notorious crime family, the Sharkeys.

As Fletcher follows the clues, evidence of a conspiracy begins to emerge. But before he can crack the case, Fletcher finds himself framed for a serious crime. To clear his name, he will have to pair up with the unlikeliest of allies and go on the run from the authorities. Fletcher has twelve hours to find the guilty party--or he "is" the guilty party.

Fletcher Moon is a young genius who has passed an online detective course to become an actual detective and solve lots of cases. But when someone steals his badge and attacks him during the night, things get personal. Suddenly, crimes all around town are being pinned on him and the towns criminal mastermind family, the Sharkeys. Now Half Moon has to team up with the least likely of allies and solve the cases in 24 hours, or he gets blamed for all the crimes. I really liked this book, as it is full of action, detectives, criminals, and it was written by my favorite author. It can seem at times like it is a childrens book or that the culprit of the crimes is obvious, but it never really turns out the way you think it should. I love all of Eoin Colfers work, especially the Artemis Fowl series. I recommend this book to everyone.
