Brief description: Steve Brezenoff is the author of more than fifty middle-grade chapter books, including the Field Trip Mysteries series, the Ravens Pass series of thrillers, and the Return to the Titanic series. He's also written three young-adult novels, Guy in Real Life; Brooklyn, Burning; and The Absolute Value of -1. In his spare time, he enjoys video games, cycling, and cooking.

Review Quotes: As the author of Field Trip Mysteries, Brezenoff is well rehearsed in the genre and constructs a fun puzzle. After-hours museums (especially these stand-ins for the Smithsonian complex) are wonderful settings, and the children solving the case have distinctly realized interests and personalities. Overall, the series promises to provide a powerful and delightfully understated representation of multiethnicity with cross-gender appeal, and it's refreshing and exciting to see a hero in a hijab.-- "Booklist Online"
