(3) K-3 Illustrated by Meneka Repka. With her cousin Zoe, Marianne tries to solve the mystery of why many of the ripe, delicious mangoes keep disappearing from her family’s tree. Neighbor Mr. Cruz suggests it’s a mango monster (“They’ve been stealing from mango trees since before I was born”), leading the girls to set some humorous traps before the truth is finally revealed. Energetic, warm-toned digital illustrations highlight a South Asian family, featuring two high-spirited, creative-problem-solving, and community-minded cousins.
