Praise for HOWARD WALLACE, P.I. *". . . an absolute delight . . . Banter between Howard and Ivy is snappy . . . a solidly entertaining introduction to hard-boiled detectives." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (STARRED REVIEW) "Strong writing, relatable themes, and a solid mystery combine for a read that both boys and girls will have trouble putting down." --School Library Journal "Lyall neatly juggles several plotlines . . . Give this to fans of Encyclopedia Brown who are looking for longer (and funnier!) well-plotted mysteries." --Booklist "Lyall's debut is a winner." --Publishers Weekly ". . . Enough realistic kid detecting to keep young PIs turning pages. . . . the mystery is engaging . . . Likely to see sequels; Howard and Ivy deserve them." --Kirkus Reviews "Full of surprises and humor, Howard Wallace, P.I. will delight any lover of detective stories." --Sheila Grau, author of the Dr. Critchlore's School for Minions series
"...Lyall's debut is a winner." --Publishers Weekly "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 solve it 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 suspects, Howard begins to wonder if having Ivy as a sidekick--and a friend--is such a bad thing after all. Named a Book Riot middle-grade book for the summer with special recommendation for reluctant readers! Nominated for the 2018 Red Cedar Book Award!
