About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by the idea of secret protectors and is starting to explore more complex stories of good versus evil. This chapter book follows a courageous NYPD detective and her gargoyle allies as they face a vengeful enemy. It is a fantastic choice for young readers who are ready for high-stakes action but still benefit from the support of clear moral lines and strong themes of loyalty. While the setting is gritty urban New York, the emotional core focuses on the power of protecting one's community and standing by friends in the face of jealousy and malice. It bridges the gap between simple early readers and more mature fantasy, providing a safe but thrilling environment to discuss bravery, the importance of civic helpers, and how to handle people who are driven by bitterness.
