Howard Wallace, P.I.
Written by Casey Lyall
|
“What’s with the get-up? Is that the company uniform or something?”
“This? All P.I.s wear a trench coat.”
“Dude, that’s a brown bathrobe.” I shrugged and straightened out my sleeves.
“First rule of private investigation, Ivy: work with what you’ve got.”
Twelve-year-old Howard Wallace lives by his list of rules of private investigation. He knows more than anyone how to work with what he’s got: a bathrobe for a trench coat, a makeshift office behind the school equipment shed, and not much else—least of all, friends. So when a hot case of blackmail lands on his desk, he’s ready to take it on himself . . . until the new kid, Ivy Mason, convinces him to take her on as a junior partner. As they banter through stakeouts and narrow down their list of suspects, Howard starts to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekick—and a friend—is such a bad thing after all.

good but some new words I don't know
good but some new words I don't know
I loved reading this book! Mysteries are my kind of story. It is always easy to figure out who the culprit is because in most mystery books the person that seems least likely to be the culprit is the culprit. Same thing in this book. I totally agree with the last person that commented on this book. There were a LOT of new words that I could not understand the least bit! I had to search the meaning of those words on google. I searched up at least 1 million words! Okay, maybe it wasn't that many. But I also got to learn so many new words. Almost all the books I have read in Silver Birch Fiction are amazing. I am going to recommend this book to all of my friends. I do not think this is the type of book for those people who don't like looking up so many words. Just because I loved this book does not mean everyone else has to like it.
Howard Wallace P.I is such an amazing book. It has so much suspense and adventure! Howard Wallace is an ordinary 7th grader who loves to investigate and solve mysteries. He has his very own "office" in the school shed. His room is called the "home office". Howard has his own private investigation company and charges $5 per day in each case. He is used to working alone but the new girl named Ivy asks to be his "partner in investigation". Howard has a huge blackmail case he needs to solve and knows he might not be able to solve this case by himself. When I found out who the culprit was I was shocked! I will recommend this book to each of my friends. I really want to read more books from this author!
