(3) 4-6 Chinatown Mystery series. When a prop gun loaded with real bullets is fired at teenage TV heartthrob Clark Tom, twelve-year-old Lily and her great-aunt Tiger Lil leap to the rescue of the two prime suspects--Lily's brother and a Chinatown gang member. The fast-paced mystery deglamorizes Hollywood, corrects misperceptions about Chinatown, and neatly inserts cultural details into characters' conversations.
