“What’s with the get-up? Is that the company uniform or
something?”
“This? All P.I.s wear a trench coat.”
“Dude, that’s a brown bathrobe.”
I shrugged and
straightened out my sleeves. “First rule of private
investigation, Ivy: work with what you’ve
got.” Twelve-year-old Howard Wallace lives by his list
of rules of private investigation. He knows more than anyone
how to work with what he’s got: a bathrobe for a trench
coat, a makeshift office behind the school equipment shed,
and not much else—least of all, friends. So when a hot case
of blackmail lands on his desk, he’s ready to take it on
himself . . . until the new kid, Ivy Mason, convinces him to
take her on as a junior partner. As they banter through
stakeouts and narrow down their list of suspects, Howard
starts to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekick—and a friend—is
such a bad thing after all.
Named a Book Riot
