(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. In this reissue from the author of the beloved Moffat family books, ten-year-old Connie Ives and the other kids in her tight-knit Brooklyn neighborhood attempt to solve a crime. The unhurried pace and spot-on child's-eye view of events make this far less a mystery than a skillful depiction of the fluctuating loyalties and animosities that bind a band of children together.
Reviewer: Terri Schmitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: February, 1965
