One of the main characters is named Ron, and he finds himself in a very interesting position in the middle of a lot of trouble, trying to solve a crime and avoid the police. Along the way he meets Tiffany, a girl who seems to be his best friend. Their friendship is quickly torn apart, and Ron must use his powers of perception and deductive reasoning in order to clear his name and escape the police. Along the way he meets Mutch, who also has a lot of mischievous plans, all of which combine to confront the police force and save the twins.

A good book that will make children feel young again, and will allow them to see the world through the eyes of a child. It is a simple premise and one that I believe author Jon Scieszka accomplished quite well in his book. Highly Recommended.
