The Case of the Goblin Pearls by Nicholas Krenitsky, Laurence Yep
4.0
Lily's name sake actress Aunt Tiger Lil' is coming to stay with Lily's family while she oversees a portion of the New Year's Day parade. However, a gang called the Powell Street Boys is robbing several Chinatown businesses and the mayor is threatening to cancel the big parade. When the Goblin Pearls go missing, Lily and her Aunt try to solve the case.
Lily is a typical 12 year old and this novel, while written in 1997, isn't too dated with technology - maybe it will be in the next 10 years when kids really have no idea what a videocassette is. This novel brings up important issues such as sweat shops and the history of Asians in film.
Grades 6-8th.
