(3) 4-6 Nell Warne, eleven, is all alone in the world. Aunt Kitty might provide a home, but she's busy being Pinkerton's first female detective. Nell must prove herself an able assistant by going undercover and maybe even saving the president-to-be. Set against the backdrop of the looming Civil War, Nell's spirited first-person narration is juxtaposed with letters to her African American friend Jemma.
