(3) 4-6 Intrepid aspiring reporter Isabel, ten, works as a newsgirl on the streets of 1926 Chicago. When she hears a gunshot and runs toward the fray, she becomes embroiled in a possible mob dispute, ultimately working side-by-side with her idol, Chicago Tribune crime reporter Maude Collier. Fast-paced and full of Prohibition-era scene dressing, this girl-powered historical whodunit is perfect for lovers of plucky protagonists.
