There are no crimes to investigate! But a trip to New York City to visit Randi’s aunt changes that! While the ninja detective trio explores Randi’s old neighborhood in Brooklyn, they uncover an art theft. Except no one will believe them. So they’ll just have to catch the criminals in the act...
Review(s):
this novel will keep young readers guessing...readers will appreciate Randi’s determination to make a difference. A quick read about a girl sleuth whose fiery determination will leave readers wanting Book 2.
An entertaining, suspenseful read.
A host of quirky supporting characters provide warmth in this cozy little mystery while Randi herself is eminently likable, an appealing mixture of bravado and vulnerability as she tries to crack the case, negotiate her relationship with her dad, and come to terms with her mother’s recent death. Academy Award–winner-turned-author Spencer lays out an inviting mystery perfectly suited for younger readers.
