Whiz Tanner and the Secret Tunnel

by Fred Rexroad, Alexander Lee (Illustrator)

Overview

Whiz and Joey involve the Tanner-Dent Detective Agency in a bid to settle a schoolyard bet. Is there a time-traveling DeLorean sitting in Farmer Zimmer's old barn or not? But, it's not so easy to find out--the barn sits in the middle of a BULL pasture!
Our heroes learn quickly that bulls are the least of their worries, as this simple task gets them trapped in a secret tunnel and eyeball deep in a mystery involving an abandoned US Air Force Radar Station ... and stolen military Top Secrets. Whiz and Joey conjure up more trouble than they've ever encountered and get a once-in-a-lifetime experience as a reward.
