About The Book
Shauna Wickle knows what she wants: top grades for a university scholarship, excellent friends for solving mysteries, and a lifetime subscription to Architectural Digest. But when her older brother returns from several years spent in prison, her carefully constructed life begins crumbling around her ears. With her friends, classes, and family quickly slipping out of her control, Shauna will be faced with the mystery of how to protect what she loves without also losing herself. The Case of the Missing Piece, the ninth book in John Allison's award-winning Bad Machinery series, finds our mystery crew caught in the merciless claws of adolescence. Can you heal someone with friendship? Does a crush truly have to physically crush you? And can you grow up without also growing away?
About The Illustrator
Born in a hidden village deep within the British Alps, John Allison came into this world a respectable baby with style and taste. Having been exposed to American comics at an early age, he spent decades honing his keen mind and his massive body in order to burn out this colonial cultural infection. One of the longest continuously publishing independent web-based cartoonists, John has plied his trade since the late nineties moving from Bobbins to Scary Go Round to Bad Machinery, developing the deeply weird world of Tackleford long after many of his fellow artists were ground into dust and bones by Time Itself. He has only once shed a single tear, but you only meet Sergio Aragon's for the first time once. John resides in Letchworth Garden City, England, and is known to his fellow villagers only as He Who Has Conquered.
