Twelve-year-old Howard Wallace lives by his list of rules of private investigation. He knows more than anyone how to work with what he&;s got: a bathrobe for a trench coat, a makeshift office behind the school equipment shed, and not much else&;least of all, friends. So when a hot case of blackmail lands on his desk, he&;s ready to take it on himself . . . until the new kid, Ivy Mason, convinces him to take her on as a junior partner. As they banter through stakeouts and narrow down their list of suspects, Howard starts to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekick&;and a friend&;is such a bad thing after all. - Sterling&;&;Lyall&;s debut is a winner.&; &;Publishers Weekly
