[edit] B Lake

The article says

detective Brandon Lake, who is known as "the Invisible Detective" as no one has seen more than his silhouetted figure in a darkened room. In fact, Brandon Lake does not exist; he was invented by the four children, who investigate all his cases themselves.

This leaves too much ambiguity to be encyclopedic. It could instead say

an imaginary detective, whom they call "Brandon Lake" and believe they have seen as a silhouetted figure in a darkened room, and who seems to be advising them, when they interpret noises that seem to be responses to their conjectures

if that gets the facts right. But maybe it's wrong, maybe they are psychics channeling Sherlock Holmes, or one of them is a delusional psychotic. Someone who knows more needs to fix that passage before it gets replaced by something even vaguer, but less confusing.
