Nancy Drew fans will fall for the first title in Leslie Margolis's pitch-perfect middle-grade series, The Maggie Brooklyn Mysteries.

Dogs are disappearing in her neighborhood, and Maggie Brooklyn Sinclair knows all about it. After all, she has a semi-secret after-school gig as a professional (ok, amateur) dog-walker. Maggie hates to see a pup in trouble, so she's even willing to help her ex-best friend Ivy recover her rescue-dog, Kermit. Kermit's being held for ransom, and Maggie has noticed some suspicious behavior lately. But she never suspected her crush Milo could be involved . . .

What reviewers said

“Clips the reader onto a touching, funny story-leash that twists and turns; dogs, their humans, twins of all ages, old friends and even apartments are not what they seem at first. At least not always...”
Blue Balliett, author of Chasing Vermeer
“Maggie Brooklyn is a smart, funny, capable detective, and a real kid. Sequel, please.”
Adam Rex, author of True Meaning of Smekday
“This is my kind of book! The mystery starts on page one. Then it's surprise after surprise, with lots of twists and turns-- and chilling suspense.”
R.L. Stine
“While the well-crafted mysteries are foremost, it's the relatable, witty protagonist that makes this novel stand out....When this dog walker turned detective returns, she'll be welcome.”
The Horn Book
“Maggie is a friendly and thoughtful narrator with a sharply logical mind; readers...will appreciate her intellect and bravery, and applaud her success.”
