“When in doubt, listen to the leaves blowing in the wind.”

“The Case of the Flying Note, A Detective Reed Mystery” is the first in a series written and illustrated by musician/teacher/artist, Alice Cotton, where young readers travel into a fantastical world of musical characters. 

Unbeknownst to us, Detective Reed,  a musical half rest who was trained to be a detective, becomes involved in a wild chase after Presto, a newly written note. Presto escapes from his music and Reed is called in to help find him and bring him back before the composer wakes up. Reed flies through a Forest of Rests, into thundering clouds of quarter notes,  through a snoring bugle horn and  into the roots of a singing flower where the South Side Music Academy resides. In one room classroom C sharps shoot arrows. In another, there is a violin making sounds like a happy baby gorilla, “HEEE HAAAW EEEEEE EEEEE EEEEEE.” When he is done, everyone laughs and applauds, including Reed and the cello next to him.

Finally the detective finds Presto in a room where A notes are meditating. It is here where Reed discovers the reason for the note’s escape and is able to help him resolve his problem. But, Reed’s way of completing the task is quite unique.

These musical stories leave readers satisfied, with all problems resolved and always musically illuminated. Humor, inventive visual imagery and unique characterizations are the strongholds of Alice’s stories. Join her in this quest to make music a part of every child’s life.
