Cinderella Smith: The Super Secret Mystery

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Diane Goode. Third grader Cinderella wants to keep her school project on ocelots a secret so she can "shock and amaze" the class. But the library books she's waiting for go missing, so she and her best friend must solve the mystery of who took them. Barden has a "vexylent" ("very, extremely excellent") understanding of her audience, and Goode's line drawings embody the tale's lightness.
