I have loved SEBASTIAN (SUPER SLEUTH) for a long time -- unfortunately they are hard to come by. This copy just happened to be in a box of books that I purchased. The character of Sebastian is easy loveable -- sidekick to his human Detective John Quincy Jones. This time John is very sick collapsing at a hospital where he has been assigned to protect an unnamed mystery patient. -- So it is up to Sebastian (Super Sleuth) to step in for his sick human and keep an eye on things. But when the mystery patient gets kidnapped, Sebastian must overcome many obstacles to solve the case -- while still appearing to the world that he is only a loveable pet.

This was one of my favorite series growing up -- but even then they were hard to find. I've never read the whole series. This one was OK in plot and I love Lisa McCue's illustrations. I'm definitely keeping it. ( )
