Maggie Brooklyn Mystery series.
In her third book, affable Maggie Brooklyn wants to find out who's sabotaging her friend's mom's new soda fountain. And then there's the creepy mansion where she has a babysitting gig: Maggie doesn't believe in ghosts, but it really seems haunted. The book's age-appropriate mysteries are lightly suspenseful and connect in satisfying ways. A good choice for budding Nancy Drews.

Maggie Brooklyn Mystery series.
In this solid follow-up to Girl's Best Friend, a movie begins filming in Maggie Brooklyn's neighborhood. Then its heartthrob star disappears; also, someone is egging dogs in Prospect Park. Dog-walking detective Maggie investigates both cases (and is oblivious to what's going on in her personal life) with characteristic cheerfulness, wit, and smarts, leaving readers hoping for another sequel.

Maggie Brooklyn Mystery series.
When dogs start disappearing from her Park Slope neighborhood, Maggie Sinclair, seventh-grader and part-time dog walker extraordinaire, is on the case. Maggie aspires to be Nancy Drew ("old-fashioned" but "way gutsy") and shrewdly puts together seemingly unrelated events. While the well-crafted mystery is foremost, it's the relatable, witty protagonist dealing with everyday middle school tribulations that makes this novel stand out.
