About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a desire for more independence or feels frustrated by the limitations of being 'just a kid.' It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who loves solving puzzles and needs to see that their observations and intelligence have real-world value. Angie is a twelve-year-old who feels overshadowed by her older sister, a professional police officer, but she soon proves that her sharp mind is her greatest asset. The story follows Angie as she tracks a gang of teenage thieves, only to find herself entangled with a dangerous group of counterfeiters. While the stakes are high, the book maintains a grounded tone that emphasizes logic and bravery over brute force. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who are transitioning into more complex chapter books. You might choose this to encourage self-confidence and to spark a conversation about how young people can contribute to the safety and fairness of their own communities.
