Introducing Maggie Brooklyn! A tween detective in the tradition of Nancy Drew and Harriet the Spy.
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 . . .
Leslie Margolis's pitch-perfect voice and rich characters have endeared her to tweens, and her fans will flock to this hip new series featuring a clever and lovable young heroine, Maggie Brooklyn. The perfect series for fans of The Hardy Boys, The Secret Seven and, of course, Nancy Drew.
