An aspiring handwriting analyst tracks down her missing neighbor in this caper from the author of The Problem with the Puddles.More than anything, eleven-year-old Lucy wants to be the world’s most famous handwriting expert. “You can learn a lot about a person through how they write their I’s,” she tells her friend, Pigeon—who just so happens to be a talking bird. When Lucy’s neighbor Zelda goes missing and the only clue is a cryptic handwritten note, Lucy is determined to crack the case using her graphology skills. With some help from Nicky, who lives upstairs, and plenty of advice from Pigeon (who just so happens to be very opinionated), can Lucy decipher the whereabouts of her apartment building’s missing resident?
I saw this title on my library's list of new children's books to check out this summer, so I did. (I'm always scouting out books for my own kids.) The story is cute, the nice characters really are nice, and there is a sufficient dose of quirkiness (I love quirkiness) in the main personalities.I think the best audience would be strong 2nd grade readers through 4th grade readers as the story itself is pretty simple. Due to the length and element of mystery, I think the younger readers would feel a great sense of accomplishment when finished while the older ones would just enjoy a fun story.
