Cute graphic novel for ages 9-11.I liked the subtle themes of equity and inclusion here.

Loved it. A must-purchase for middle grade graphic novel collections. The riff on Sherlock Holmes was unobtrusive, but a delight for fans.

I really, really loved this graphic novel!! There is something about kid detectives that just gets me every time. I also really loved the quirky pairing of these two new unlikely friends, Jamila with her tomboy sportiness and Shirley with her old fashionedness. When Shirley's kid detective business is revealed, the two go on a quest to locate a missing gecko and solve a case of disappearing items. In doing so, they bring together another group of unlikely friends and save everyone's summers. It's a truly wholesome and heartwarming read and I am very excited there is a sequel!
