1-3Sly the Sleuth series.
Illustrated by
Heather Maione.
Sly's latest trio of cases all require code-cracking, as she discovers while investigating a four-year-old who sings gibberish, a series of strange notes, and graffiti scrawled in the boys' bathroom. Elementary-school readers will find a lot to relate to here--from Sly's fears about being cut from the baseball team to her run-ins with a bossy classmate. Approachable sketches accompany the text.
