Children's author, Darren J. Butler, has created a new hero for American
children. Eleven year old detective, Abbie Walker, is the new super sleuth
of the new century. Abbie, Girl Spy is an ongoing series for middle readers
that will include many exciting mysteries for children.
Here is a copy of the description of this book that appears on the back
cover.
First of all, I'm not a spy. By definition, spies are people who sneak
around and watch other people. I'm a detective, but Abbie Girl Detective or
Abbie, Private Investigator or even Abbie, Super Sleuth, sound all wrong. I
have just begun the worst summer of my entire eleven year existence. Becca,
my best friend and partner in crime, moved to Memphis a few weeks ago and
the rest of my summer and my life are down the toilet.
In addition to the misery of loosing Becca, I've been having nightmares
almost every night. I've been dreaming about a ghost girl. She's looking for
someone and I think that someone might be me. After solving six cases in the
past year and a half, I have now become my own client and unfortunately I
must find a replacement for Becca.
My choices have been narrowed down to two people - Kirk and Sarah. After
the way that Sarah has treated me, I'm fairly sure I can mark her off my
list. Therefore, I have decided to pick Kirk on a trial basis. I'm going to
take a chance and show him the secret office under the greenhouse and let
him read the files of cases one through six.
