Orphan Wilma Tenderfoot moves next-door to her detective hero, Theodore P. Goodman. She wheedles her way into his good graces by helping him solve two mysteries (involving a jewel heist in Hearts and theatrical murders in Poison) then becomes his apprentice and ward. Wild characters and humor abound in the first two books of this new series. Review covers these titles: Wilma Tenderfoot: The Case of the Frozen Hearts and Wilma Tenderfoot: The Case of the Putrid Poison.
