(4) 4-6 History Mysteries series. When Papa takes twelve-year-old Bessie and her little brother to stay with their aunts in Harlem, Bessie thinks that her parents must be getting divorced. The adults won't share any information with the children, so Bessie sneaks around the house and the city, attempting to find clues that will lead her to her absent father. Set during the Harlem Renaissance, the story relies too much on coincidence, and Bessie sometimes seems younger--or older--than she is.
