First rule of private investigation, Ivy: work with what youve got.Twelve-year-old Howard Wallace lives by his list of rules of private investigation. He knows more than anyone how to work with what hes got: a bathrobe for a trench coat, a makeshift office behind the school equipment shed, and not much else-least of all, friends. So when a hot case of blackmail lands on his desk, hes ready to take it on 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 list of suspects, Howard starts to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekick-and a friend-is such a bad thing after all.Named a Book Riot middle-grade book for the summer with special recommendation for reluctant readers!Winner of the Red Cedar Book Award for Fiction!
