Millionaire Dempsey believes that his son, Colin, is up to no good. He wants his new employee, Nikki, to investigate. But the feeble and pathetic man Nikki meets couldn''t possibly be responsible for the crimes his father accuses him of. Maybe his half-brother Dylan is setting him up? Written specifically for struggling readers to explore genres, like mysteries and science fiction, these fast-paced books hold student interest until the last page. Questions at the end of each title promote cognitive development by making students think about vocabulary, comprehension, character, and plot.
