Hajime Kindaichi is your classic underachiever - always falling asleep in class, never doing his homework - it's no wonder everyone thinks he's a loser. It seems like his only friend is Miyuki, the girl-next-door. Ignoring her classmates' complaints, she invites Kindaichi to the Drama Club's weekend rehearsal for 'Phantom of the Opera' - after all, someone's got to do the stagehand grunt work. The production gets off to a shaky start, but when cast members start dying in ways mimicking events in the play, things get downright grisly. While everyone worries about being snuffed out, this is young Kindaichi's moment to shine. With his amazing deductive reasoning and the ability to keep his cool in the face of death, he's a regular Sherlock Holmes. Now the class slacker must put on a class act investigation before the 'Phantom' strikes again!

Hajime Kindaichi is a world-class underachiever. At school, his only real friend is model student Miyuki - so it surprises everyone when he gets an invite to a classmate's wedding. But Kindaichi notices there's something a little odd about the bride's hometown and the six gorgeous mansions built there. His suspicions are confirmed when the owners of the mansions are gruesomely murdered, one by one. Kindaichi knows he's the only one that can crack this case, but when he learns he may be dealing with a mummy's curse, he wonders if he might be in over his head. Using detective skills that would make Sherlock Holmes proud, this greenhorn gumshoe must uncover the identity of the killer and the secret of the six mansions before he becomes the next target.

Hajime Kindaichi, the brilliant but underachieving high school junior, decides to join a TV crew to work on a 'hidden camera' style horror show. It sounded like fun: putting an unsuspecting actress in a situation that mirrors the well-known local myth, 'The Legend of Yukiyasha,' and filming her as she gets the life scared out of her. But when the actress is found dead, could it be the work of the real Yukiyasha? Maybe it's not just a myth. Now members of the TV crew are turning up dead as well. Kindaichi better get to the root of this mystery fast, or he could be next!
4. SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Nobody at Hajime Kindaichi's school takes him seriously. After all, whenever he does bother to show up for class he usually just falls asleep. What they do take seriously are the recent ghost sightings around campus and the threatening letters from someone calling himself the 'Afterschool Magician.' Who is this Afterschool Magician, and what is he after? A few members of the school's Mystery Club tried to find out, and they turned up dead. Luckily for Kindaichi, he's an accomplished magician in his own right, but if he's going to crack this case he'll need to rely on every trick in the book.

Once the contestants arrive, the island owner who sponsored the contest is found dead in the Log House. True to formula, the other contestants begin showing up dead one-by-one ... yet another mystery for the inimitable Hajime to unravel!
6. TOKEN
by Alisa Kwitney
Alisa Kwitney writes a story about a fifteen-year-old Jewish girl in Miami in 1987. Shira’s best friends are her grandmother and her buddy, a former movie star. They feed her nostalgic dreams of glamour, which don’t help when her father gets seriously involved with his secretary. She feels like she’s losing his love, with no one’s support to replace it.
Some of the elements are standard — mean blonde classmates, a feeling of no one understanding her until she meets an unusual boy — but the idea of shoplifting as a vehicle for self-discovery is unusual, and events don’t work out in the standard, expected ways. More, Joelle Jones’ impressive art elevates the work with her expressive figures. Regardless of whether they’re beautiful, Jones’ characters are attractive in their uniqueness. (Her previous book, 12 Reasons Why I Love Her, was one of my Best of 2006.)
Although Minerva’s stories of the glory days have influenced Shira, especially how she thinks about the signals of love, the point of the book is that life isn’t a movie. The boy may just be a temporary enjoyment instead of a life-changing true love. Culture clash provides the allure of the different, but sometimes it can’t be overcome. Shira’s learning to make her own choices and deal with the consequences. Her father wants to pay attention to his life without letting her do the same. Working out a resolution and dealing with the heartbreak to get there makes everyone stronger.
The usual Minx title was a coming-of-age story in which a teenage girl discovers love and makes the first steps towards her own identity. While Token fits that mold, it provides a more mature, subtle take on things. It takes the line out on a high point.
