(4) 4-6 Girls First! series. When twelve-year-old Willa spends the summer in Seattle with her aunts, one of whom is a naturalist, she and her cousins get the "eco-sleuthing" bug and attempt to learn who is polluting a local stream. The book's mystery proves limp, but the novel is also about Willa's reckoning with her multiracial family and with her parents' divorce, topics Wilson handles well.
