“Give this to fans of Encyclopedia Brown who are looking for longer (and funnier!) well-plotted mysteries.” —Booklist on Howard Wallace, P.I.“My partner scanned the message and a slow grin took over her face as she said our four favorite words: ‘We have a case.’”HOWARD WALLACE IS BACK! Middle-school detectives Howard Wallace and Ivy Mason are itching for a juicy case. But when their friend and cohort Marvin hires them to prove his nephew— über-bully Carl Dean—didn’t pugnap the school mascot, they’re less than thrilled. To succeed, not only must Howard and Ivy play nice with Carl, they’ll have to dodge a scrappy, snoopy reporter and come face-to-face with Howard’s worst enemy, his ex-best friend Miles Fletcher. Can Howard deal with all these complications and still be there for Ivy when her life is turned upside down? Or will he once again find himself a friendless P.I.? “Another sequel is in the offing, and young mystery fans should be glad.” —Kirkus Reviews

Winner of the 1965 Newbery Medal Manolo Olivar knows he is a coward. He is afraid of heights, cars, and bulls - especially bulls. But as the son of Juan Olivar, the greatest matador in Spain, everyone expects him to be a bullfighter. Now, at eleven, Manolo must fight his first bull. But, no matter how much he practices, he is still terrified. Can Manolo find the courage to fight the bull with honor? Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.

Manolo Olivar was the son of his father. Which may not seem like a necessary thing to say. But in Manolo's case it is. For his father had been Juan Olivar, the greatest bullfighter in all Spain. And Manolo was his son in two special ways: one, he looked just like his father; and two, everyone expected that he, Manolo Olivar, would repeat the success of his father, would be just what his father had been - a fighter of bulls and a killer of death.
