It Happened on a Train Retired private detective and current seventh-grader Steve Brixton has a new career: taking out the garbage on Wednesdays for five bucks a week.

*"Barnett's sly and often silly Hardy Boy parody chugs along with plenty of laughs and enough honest-to-gosh mystery to please any lover of boy detective fiction. Rex's black-and-white pencils (which also parody the Hardy tales) are still a fine match for the goofiness. Mention of the next adventure at mystery's close will make Brixton fans smile."--"Kirkus Reviews, "STARRED review
"An amusing addition to the Brixton Brothers series."--"Booklist"
