Emily Neuburger, Everyday Fun blog, Parents.com"Shirley Link is a new girl detective series that my daughter is crazy about. This is an amazing series, my friends! Your kids will be hooked and you'll feel really good about it."No one likes Bobby. He's the kid who can do no right. The one we don't want our kids to hang out with.So when small valuables start disappearing from residents' homes, most folks are willing to believe he's the thief.Except Shirley Link. Shirley knows something is not right in Shelburne Falls. Neighbor is turning on neighbor. Some classmates insist the abandoned fridge in Howard's Field is haunted. The town's newest police officer clearly despises her. Bears are showing up. And Jacob, the ultimate frenemy, asked her out to a movie!But when Bobby is taken into custody, Shirley must put all the pieces together. Fast. Shirley Link, girl detective, is back in the critically-acclaimed Middle Grade mystery series! And this time, there's a black cat involved...uh-oh...A great read for girls and boys from -12 years of age (and their parents, of course)!Edward Hemingway, Author/Illustrator, Bad Apple"This Veronica Mars for the tween-set is funny, smart, and full of preternatural wisdom."PopBop (Top 500 Amazon reviewer)"There are early middle grade mysteries out there, but most of them have sketchy characters, and a lot of them plod along fairly predictable arcs. This series has an engaging heroine, a lot of attitude, and a much snappier overall feel."
