âWhatâs with the get-up? Is that the company uniform or something?â
âThis? All P.I.s wear a trench coat.â
âDude, thatâs a brown bathrobe.â
I shrugged and straightened out my sleeves. âFirst rule of private investigation, Ivy: work with what youâve got.â
Twelve-year-old Howard Wallace lives by his list of rules of private investigation. He knows more than anyone how to work with what heâs got: a bathrobe for a trench coat, a makeshift office behind the school equipment shed, and not much elseâleast of all, friends. So when a hot case of blackmail lands on his desk, heâs ready to solve it himself . . . until the new kid, Ivy Mason, convinces him to take her on as a junior partner. As they banter through stakeouts and narrow down their suspects, Howard begins to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekickâand a friendâis such a bad thing after all.
Named a Book Riot middle-grade book for the summer with special recommendation for reluctant readers!
Nominated for the 2018 Red Cedar Book Award!
