The Case of the Counterfeit Criminals

(4) 4-6 Wollstonecraft Detective Agency series. Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. Plucky nineteenth-century detectives Mary Godwin, fourteen, and Ada Byron, eleven, pursue a new case. For the safe return of her kidnapped dog, paleontologist Mary Anning is being blackmailed to fake authenticity of forged dinosaur bones. The third installment again blends history, mystery, and science entertainingly if implausibly. Notes explain liberties taken with the historical setting and characters.
