Editorial Reviews

The six and up crowd has a new series to look forward to this fall. Acclaimes Newberry Medal-award winner Cynthia Rylant has just introduced her first two High Rise Private Eyes stories. These are compact little books...with delightful G. Brian Karas illustrations on every page...Rylant adds interest to the stories with good characterization and feisty dialogue between the two detectives—something that's hard to do with few words and a fairly restricted vocabulary.
