An entertaining romp that will appeal to fans of humorous mysteries.” — School Library Journal "The characters are real kids dealing with real worries. Carlos is so concerned about money that he takes on the near-impossible task of solving a case for his mother, but it’s this concern that makes him endearing.

Magaziner blends the fun of interactive stories with a suspenseful mystery and delightful characters." — Booklist PRAISE FOR LAUREN MAGAZINER: “Humorous and engaging.” — ALA Booklist “Readers will banish themselves from the ordinary world to finish this book in a flash.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The kids’ slowly forming friendship has real grace and authenticity." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Hilarious, light-hearted debut would be a great read-aloud for middle grade classrooms.” — Library Media Connection
