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
âClips 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...â
âMaggie Brooklyn is a smart, funny, capable detective, and a real kid. Sequel, please.â
âThis 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.â
âWhile 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.â
âMaggie is a friendly and thoughtful narrator with a sharply logical mind; readers...will appreciate her intellect and bravery, and applaud her success.â
