[Much has been written about the girl sleuth in fiction, a feminist
figure who embodies all the potential wit, drive and zest of
girlhood. Her male counterpart, however, has received much less
critical attention despite his popularity in the wider culture.
This collection of twelve essays examines the boy detective and his
genre from a wide variety of critical perspectives and address
issues involving these young characters who stand on the cusp of
manhood and boyhood, heirs to the patriarchy yet still concerned
with first crushes and soda shop romances. Series explored include
the Hardy Boys, Tow Swift, the Three Investigators, Christopher
Cool and Tim Murphy, as well as works by Astrid Lindgren, Mark
Haddon, and Joe Meno.]
