Synopsis
&“…Lyall&’s debut is a winner.&” —Publishers Weekly&“What&’s with the get-up? Is that the company uniform or something?&” &“This? All P.I.s wear a trench coat.&” &“Dude, that&’s a brown bathrobe.&” I shrugged and straightened out my sleeves. &“First rule of private investigation, Ivy: work with what you&’ve got.&”Twelve-year-old Howard Wallace lives by his list of rules of private investigation. He knows more than anyone how to work with what he&’s got: a bathrobe for a trench coat, a makeshift office behind the school equipment shed, and not much else—least of all, friends. So when a hot case of blackmail lands on his desk, he&’s ready to take it on himself . . . until the new kid, Ivy Mason, convinces him to take her on as a junior partner. As they banter through stakeouts and narrow down their list of suspects, Howard starts to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekick—and a friend—is such a bad thing after all.Named a Book Riot middle-grade book for the summer with special recommendation for reluctant readers! Winner of the Red Cedar Book Award for Fiction!
