With plots involving twins, cheerleaders, ghosts, psychics and clones, Linda Joy Singleton has published over 25 midgrade and YA books. When she's not writing, she enjoys life in the country with a barnyard of animals including horses, cats, dogs and pigs. She especially loves to hear from readers and speaking at schools and libraries. She collects vintage series books like Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden and Judy Bolton. When Linda is asked why she'd rather write for kids than adults, she says, "I love seeing the world through the heart of a child, where magic is real and every day begins a new adventure. I hope to inspire them to reach for their dreams. Writing for kids is a gift, a responsibility, and an honor."
"A fun mystery series that's a sure bet for animal lovers."--School
Library Journal
"There's plenty of action in this series opener, but Singleton also
handles the emotional layers well. Pet lovers will enjoy the
animal-centric focus, and the mystery will keep them
guessing."--Publishers Weekly
"This enjoyable mystery has a satisfying ending and a neatly
calibrated level of suspense for middle school readers."--Kirkus
Reviews
"This first book in a new series is definitely for the
animal-lover, and the Scooby-Doo vibe makes it a perfect fit for
the budding mystery fan. Young readers will enjoy following the
clues along with Kelsey as she learns about friendship and
animals."--Booklist
"This is a feel-good book with a myriad of unexpected twists,
turns, and surprises."--VOYA
"Ultimately as fuzzy and accessible as a kitten chasing a ball of
string, this story--and subsequent titles in the series--will
likely find a ready audience among animal lovers, amateur sleuths,
and the fairly common combination of the two."--The Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books
