Labeled MG, but a strong reader in 1st or 2nd grade could read it. The RL is 4th, but the content is suitable. I 😍 books by K. Klise, she knows how to get into a kid's head. This was really 2 mysteries (Hitchcock influenced) with a cheerful ending. While inventive, it needed a map. So much of this book depended on the cul-de-sac where it took place, but included travel to a park, Scott Joplin's home, school and a homeless shelter. #dogsoflitsy
