The Dragon in the Ghetto Caper
The Dragon in the Ghetto Caper | E.L. Konigsburg
1 post
Andy's not your average resident of exclusive Foxmeadow -- whenever he sits down to draw something, it turns out to be a dragon. And he wants to be a detective when he grows up -- not just an ordinary, everyday police detective, but a tough, cool, famous detective like the ones he reads about in mystery novels. Everyone knows a famous detective needs a sidekick, but Mrs. Edie Yakots, a lonely new bride who's just moved into Foxmeadow, isn't exactly what Andy had in mind -- he sometimes has a hard time just figuring out what's she's talking about. But she's the only volunteer for the job, and before he knows it, she's led him right into the middle of his first real crime -- in an inner-city neighborhood a short drive, and light years away, from Foxmeadow.

Whoops! It appears we've already started this month's #BacklistReadathon ! 😂 My brain is everywhere right now and reading is NOT going fast. Usually I try to read three books for this readathon, but this month I am going with one - the tagged book. Konigsburg has written a couple of my all-time favorite books (From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and The View from Saturday) so I'm slowly trying to read all her books. Some have ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) also been duds for me (I did NOT jive with The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World) so this book is a total wildcard!! 😆

Feel free to join us with one book or several from an author whose backlist you keep meaning to explore, and tag us if you do!!!
