Quotes

“Adler’s second tale of doodle-loving Danny features real kid characters with real kid perspectives on the adult world.” Kirkus Reviews

“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, such as Mrs. Cakel’s solitary life and Calvin’s father abandonment of his family.” 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
