It all sounds potentially delightful.Īlso, if it’s not too late to suggest other potential influences: maybe Spencer can sneak in a little bit of “ The Adventures of the Black Hand Gang”? Perhaps? In the same release, Spencer also cites Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown as major influences on her work. The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit Written by Octavia Spencer & illustrated by Vivienne To Book 1 in the Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective Series Hardcover 16.99 15. The news release describes the book’s protagonist as a 12-year-old “Brooklyn vigilante with a Tae Kwon Do black belt” who moves to Tennessee with her dad after her mother dies, then gets sucked into a mystery involving the town’s missing time capsule. What is a ninja detective? Is it, like, a modern Nancy Drew wearing all black and potentially using nunchakus to solve the mystery of the hidden staircase? Actually, kind of. The first book, scheduled to come out next year, has an amazing title: “Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective: The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit.” Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that it plans to publish a two-part series for middle-schoolers, written by Spencer.
