Description

A New York Times bestseller! In the tradition of Nancy Drew, four kids and one grandfather in Miami tackle a decades-old mystery in this first book full of “atmosphere, history, and lively humor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in the Sherlock Society middle grade series from New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award–winning author James Ponti! Siblings Alex and Zoe Sherlock take their last name as inspiration when choosing a summer job. After all, starting a detective agency has to be better than babysitting (boring), lawn mowing (sweaty), or cleaning out the attic (boring and sweaty). Their friends Lina, an avid bookworm, and Yadi, an aspiring cinematographer, join the enterprise, and Alex and Zoe’s retired reporter grandfather offers up his sweet aquamarine Cadillac convertible and storage unit full of cold cases. The group’s first target is the long-lost treasure supposedly hidden near their hometown Miami. Their investigation into the local doings of famed gangster Al Capone leads them to a remote island in the middle of the Everglades where they find alarming evidence hinting at corporate corruption. Together with Grandpa’s know-how and the kids’ intelligence—plus some really slick gadgets—can the Sherlock Society root out the conspiracy? Read more

Fantastic story - engaging, funny, mysterious - I love the real world facts of actual cases and life in Miami and the Everglades. I loved it as an adult and so did my 5th grade gifted students.

  • A very smart middle-school detective story.
Format: Hardcover
James Ponti loves to tell a story. And he gives lots of clues for how to do it in this book about an aged - but fit - former journalist teaching some bright kids how to solve a mystery. "A journalist and a detective are the same thing. A mystery is nothing more than a story missing its ending," Grandpa tells the four young members of the Sherlock Society. With engaging characters and enough plot twists to make you dizzy, this book will hold your attention. Written for pre-teens and early teens, this mystery will also be enjoyed by anyone of any age who loves a realistic telling of a story. No magic. No geniuses. Just pint-size gumshoes following hints and clues. I can't wait for the next adventure! ... show more
