Howard Wallace, P.I. (Howard Wallace, P.I., Book 1) by Casey Lyall

4.0

---

This kids mystery is told in the style of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and features Howard Wallace, a middle school Sam Spade or Phillip Marlowe. Even though kids won't get the old school detective references, they'll appreciate a humorous story about friendship.
