It's Shaggy's birthday and the gang goes to the giant Howard's Department Store to get Shaggy a gift. An unexpected accident by a klutzy store clerk introduces the gang to the store's new security measure, a robot called SSD-3. Later, while Fred, Daphne, and Velma are hunting for a gift for Shaggy, Scoob and Shag head towards the cooking department. However, along the way they discover that SSD-3 may not be the pillar of law and order expected as they witness the robot steal a hammer from hardware and then chases Shaggy and Scooby throughout the store. Fred smells fish and the gang looks for clues.

This is the 13th book in this Scooby-Doo series. As is the case with the other books, it was a fun read and fairly short. Shaggy's birthday was a nice touch that mixed the typical Scooby formula up just a little. Great for young readers and Scooby-Doo fans.

I think my son has just about every Scooby-Doo and I have readed them all as a result. The plot is always the same: a dastardly event, three potential subjects, clues left behind, and the "gang" cracks the case with some telling detail, where the "monster" is unveiled by ripping off a mask.

It's the perfect story line for a young boy...monsters, clues, a dog, friends, and victory.
