A unique, wonderful mix of text and art on every page keeps one interested beyond the story line; however, the humorous story line is also reason enough to be engaged in this book. Moxie McCoy, very confident fourth grade detective, must solve a mystery where the suspects are students in her class. Moxie is a character!

Very, very fun book. As the beginning of a series, students will have a lot to look forward to with additional books!
