The Whiffy Newton series was Rebecca Lim’s first published work, with all four books released in 2006. Each book follows the young detective Whiffy Newton as he takes on a new comedic mystery, from dastardly deeds to fiendish phantoms.
The series is written for middle grade readers and has a playful, humorous style. The long, elaborate titles give a sense of the lighthearted tone. These are mysteries that young readers can enjoy without any of the darker elements found in crime fiction for older audiences.
