Bruce Wayne just received his letter of admission to Ducard Academy. They are thrilled he is joining their student body and so hopeful that he will graduate and become a captain of industry. Big plans they have for this young detective.
No more tutors for Bruce, he is headed to a real school with other kids for a change. On his first day he goes on the orientation tour and that's when he begins to get the feeling that everything at the Ducard Academy is not what it seems. The best academy for learning in Gotham City has some bullies, some flying pies and a boy who has decided he's going to take the case and find out what the truth is at this so-called place of learning.
A girl flying through the air? Someone running so fast you can't see them go by? Ninjas everywhere?
What is this place? Bruce Wayne is going to use his own powers to get to the bottom of the mystery at the Ducard Academy. Written as a series of journal entries and as a graphic novel, the plot moves quickly and the images convey the emotion and suspense of the story. Great for readers who know their DC comics and for those who love a graphic novel version of a mystery/adventure story centered on the wondrous Bruce Wayne.
