Can Detective Conan crack the case...while trapped in a kid's body?
When ace high school detective Jimmy Kudo is fed a mysterious substance by a pair of nefarious men in black--poof! He is physically transformed into a first grader. Until Jimmy can find a cure for his miniature malady, he takes on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and continues to solve all the cases that come his way. As Conan searches for Rum, second-in-command of the Men in Black, suspicious figures seem to be everywhere. Who's the mysterious customer who helps Conan and Harley solve an attempted murder at Caf? Poirot? Why are masked men stalking Rachel's mom at her law office? And what's up with Conan's new assistant teacher, Ms. Wakasa, who seems clueless but shows signs of being smarter--not to mention better at beating up crooks who threaten her students--than she first appears? Conan may be able to solve every crime and crack every code that come his way, but some secrets are beyond even a detective's skills...Author Biography
Gosho Aoyama made his debut in 1986 with Chotto Mattete (Wait a Minute), which won Shogakukan's prestigious Shinjin Comic Taisho (Newcomer's Award for Comics) and launched his career as a critically acclaimed, top-selling manga artist. In addition to Case Closed, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2001, Aoyama created the popular manga Yaiba: Samurai Legend, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1992. Aoyama's manga is greatly influenced by his boyhood love for mystery, adventure, and baseball, and he has cited the tales of Ars?ne Lupin and Sherlock Holmes, along with the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa, as some of his childhood favorites.
