(2) 4-6 Maggie Brooklyn Mystery series. When dogs start disappearing from her Park Slope neighborhood, Maggie Sinclair, seventh-grader and part-time dog walker extraordinaire, is on the case. Maggie aspires to be Nancy Drew ("old-fashioned" but "way gutsy") and shrewdly puts together seemingly unrelated events. While the well-crafted mystery is foremost, it's the relatable, witty protagonist dealing with everyday middle school tribulations that makes this novel stand out.
