INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Santopolo, Jill

The Niña, the Pinta, and the Vanishing Treasure

(3) 4-6 Alec Flint, Super Sleuth series. Illustrated by C. B. Canga. Alec's class is studying Christopher Columbus. An exhibit at the local museum would help, but it, and Alec's art teacher, have gone missing. Following in his police officer father's footsteps, Alec and his partner Gina are on the case. Smartly combining a crime drama with some American history, this book succeeds in being both entertaining and informative.
