Marty Frye, Private Eye: The Case of the Stolen Poodle & Other Mysteries

88 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | June, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62779-460-2 $15.99
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Laurie Keller. A theft of nurse's-office tongue depressors, the disappearance of jawbreakers from a candy store, and a missing poodle found binge-watching TV: three slight, predictable mysteries are unlikely to stump anyone but will appeal to kids' sense of the ridiculous. As seven-year-old "poet detective" Marty persistently talks in simple rhymes and the pages are profusely illustrated, the stories should be easy for new readers to decipher.
