Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb

(4) 4-6 Watsonesque narrator Ananka, mysterious leader Kiki, and their secret society of outrageously precocious adolescent girls return in this inventive but tortuous detective story of NYC crime fighting and international intrigue. Two members, Oona and Betty, develop larger roles; the rest remain regrettably indistinguishable. Ananka's delightful how-to guides, including "How to Appear Mysterious" and "How to Summon a Poltergeist," sparkle with sass.
