Description:

Sixth-grader Edmund Xavier Lonnrot is no ordinary kid — he has a photographic memory and can sketch any face he's seen from memory. So when a chance "near-death ice-cream experience" lands him at the police station and the NYPD spot his uncanny talent, Edmund is recruited as their secret weapon. Code name: Eddie Red. With his dad recently laid off and his beloved school fees on the line, Eddie takes the gig gladly — but tracking the notorious Picasso Gang as they case New York's famous Museum Mile turns out to be far more dangerous than any stakeout he imagined. Fast, funny and packed with Eddie's own clever portrait sketches, this is a brilliantly satisfying art-heist caper.
