(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lesley Vamos. Mexican American fashion-obsessed Peacock "Pea" Pearl and Anglo gardening whiz Louise "Lou Lou" Bombay are best friends solving a mystery in their tight-knit, multicultural neighborhood. Spanish words and phrases and Día de los Muertos traditions are respectfully woven into the story. Vamos's loose gray-scale illustrations capture key moments as the girls' supportive friendship anchors the mystery until the satisfying ending. Glos.
