Review "Adler's second tale of doodle-loving Danny features real kid characters with real kid perspectives on the adult world." - Kirkus"The story has likable characters and a well-paced plot. It is filled with Danny's doodles, which will appeal to some readers and make a first chapter book less intimidating. While an easy read, Adler deftly incorporates deeper issues... Hand this one to kids who've graduated from Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's "Nate the Great" series (Random) but aren't quite ready for a lengthier, weightier read." - School Library Journal"Playing Calvin's sometimes-scary recklessness off against Danny's methodical, systematic gathering of clues, Adler concocts a credible investigation and a happy resolution. Over and above that, though, the book artfully portrays a dynamic friendship between seeming opposites that points to ways of making better choices without losing the fun." - Booklist Read more About the Author David A.
