Starting a detective agency instead of spending the summer babysitting, mowing lawns or cleaning, siblings Alex and Zoe Sherlock team up with their retired reporter grandfather to solve cold cases, including a long-lost treasure supposedly hidden near the Everglades linked to famed gangster Al Capone. Simultaneous eBook. - Simon and Schuster
In the tradition of Nancy Drew, four kids and one grandfather in Miami tackle a decades-old mystery in this first book full of âatmosphere, history, and lively humorâ (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in the Sherlock Society middle grade series from New York Times bestselling, Edgar Awardâwinning 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 Zoeâs retired reporter grandfather offers up his sweet aquamarine Cadillac convertible and storage unit full of cold cases.
The groupâs 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 Grandpaâs know-how and the kidsâ intelligenceâplus some really slick gadgetsâcan the Sherlock Society root out the conspiracy?
