In this sequel to Marty Chans award-winning juvenile romp "The Mystery Of the Frozen Brains," Nine-year-old Marty and his francophone buddy, Remi Boudreau, stumble upon graffiti on the school s equipment shack and begin the adventure of tracking down the culprit. Marty spies on his classmates, wears his mom s dress to go undercover, and risks losing his best friend as the mystery of the graffiti ghoul leads him to the graveyard. With continued insight into a Chinese boy s life in a Francophone town in Alberta, Chan s humour balances the serious themes of bullying and racism that are revealed in the attitudes and actions of elementary school kids.
