Hugh Dunnit may be a kid, but that doesn't stop him from solving the most befuddling mysteries (or at least trying his best ). Like the case of the shredded math homework. Sure, lesser minds might blame Hugh's new dog, Shelter. But Hugh knows there's more to sniff out. Can Hugh find the true culprit and prove Shelter's innocence before his parents decide that enough's enough and take Shelter back to the shelter? Packed with jokes galore, comic interstitials, and fun whodunnit setups, this series starter introduces a silly sleuth who will have kids cracking up as he cracks the case.
