INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Webb, Holly

The Case of the Stolen Sixpence

(3) 4-6 Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins series. Illustrated by Marion Lindsay. Twelve-year-old Maisie helps her grandmother run a London boarding house, but she has bigger dreams: she wants to be a detective--and finding out who's been stealing from the butcher will be her first case. Webb creates appealing characters distinct enough to hook young middle-grade readers, and the old-timey black-and-white line drawings will help them envision the Victorian time period.
