Whiffy Newton

Whiffy Newton, real first name Alfred, hardly looks like a crack amateur super-sleuth. His clothes are too short and too tight. He never gets picked first for sports. And he has poor eyesight. But he's got his two best friends - Doreen and Paz - and together, the three friends form the detective outfit The Agency. 

Someone is stealing all the trousers in Kentwood, and, this time, Whiffy's hapless inventor father, Dr. Bruce Newton, has nothing to do with it. Or does he? Trousers are being daringly snatched in broad daylight, taken apart, and horribly put back together, so that bizarre, two-tone trousers are appearing all over town - sinisterly nailed to the front doors of some of the city's wealthiest socialites.

There are disturbing developments going on at Chez Newton—the messy home that Whiffy Newton shares with his father. His dad’s started dating again (er, yuk), and Whiffy’s not sure if he trusts his dad’s new girlfriend, Vonda, who’s just a bit too interested in Dr. Newton’s work for Whiffy’s liking. And, there’s a mysterious force at work in Dr. Newton’s laboratory. Whiffy’s almost convinced that it’s the ghost of his late mother, trying to tell them something—or is it?
