Thirteen year old Fletcher "Half" Moon may not be the tallest or most confident kid in the playground, but nobody can rival him when it comes to cracking crime. Along with unlikely ally, ex-bad lad Red Sharkey, the young detective tackles any case, from lunch money extortion, to counterfiet homework rackets. On their tail is sassy journalist, Mia Stone, who follows their investigations in the hope of scoring a scoop for the school paper. Their nemesis is teacher's pet and aspiring criminal mastermind, April Devereaux.
