Fourth grader Moxie McCoy and best friend Maude were "the perfect problem-solving duo" until Maude moved to California. Now Moxie is interviewing classmates to both find Maude's replacement (who, it turns out, is another McCoy) and determine who stole the school mascot. Exuberant text and black-and-white illustrations work in tandem, conveying a wealth of wit and imagination. Readers will eagerly await the next installment.
