The Case of the Lion Dance

(3) 4-6 Chinatown Mystery series. After a bomb explodes in front of a Chinatown restaurant, twelve-year-old Lily and her great-aunt Tiger Lil, a former Hollywood actress, uncover a waitress's long-time plot for revenge. The action-packed mystery neatly weaves in explanations of Chinese culture--including a glimpse into the sometimes uncomfortable relationship between native-born and foreign-born Chinese--which serves to balance the few unbelievable coincidences.
