Synopsis

Angus and his best buddy, Shahid, share a love of science and their robot, Gordon. But recently, the artistic Ella Eckles has had a peculiar effect on Angus. When a stink bomb at the school provides a chance for him to talk to her, Angus claims to share her interest in reading facial expressions and declares his ambition to become a crime-solving mentalist. He impresses Ella by identifying the stink bomber, but fails to mention he witnessed the kid setting off the bomb. When Ella's treasured sketchbook is stolen, she asks Angus to find the thief. Shahid thinks Angus should confess that he's not a mentalist, but Angus is certain he can learn to read people and recover Ella's sketchbook. He asks Shahid to help him investigate the suspects and, equipped with rearview sunglasses and an informant who lurks in the washroom, the duo bungles their way through a series of hilarious encounters.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The lie happened. But I've liked Ella for eons. Possibly as long as five months. In all that time, I never got up the nerve to talk to her.When a stink bomb at school provides Angus with a chance to talk to Ella Eckles, he claims to share her interest in reading facial expressions. He tells her he plans to become a crime-solving mentalist. When Ella's treasured sketchbook is stolen, she asks Angus to find the thief. Angus knows he should confess that he's not a mentalist, but the appeal of becoming Ella's hero is far too strong. Angus decides to teach himself the arts of the mentalist and almost goes mental himself.
