(4) 1-3 Zach & Zoe Mysteries series. Illustrated by Chris Danger. Readers will find more sports than mystery in these undemanding chapter-book capers starring eight-year-old twins Zach and Zoe. Writing with a quick pace, Lupica checks the boxes of sportsmanship, gender equity, multiculturalism, and strong family relationships. Filling a need in many libraries, this illustrated series is suited for newly independent readers working toward Lupica's popular middle-school sports novels. Review covers these Zach & Zoe Mysteries titles: The Football Fiasco, The Half-Court Hero, and The Missing Baseball.
