The Dragon in the Ghetto Caper, (Hardcover)

<b>Now with a brand-new look!</b> <p><b>A would-be super-sleuth recruits a local housewife as his unlikely sidekick in this keenly observed middle grade mystery adventure</b> <b>from E.L. Konigsburg, the Newbery Medal-winning author of <i>From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler</i>.</b> </p><p>Andy's not your average resident of exclusive suburb of Foxmeadow--whenever he sits down to draw something, it turns out to be a dragon. And he wants to be a detective when he grows up--not just an ordinary, everyday police detective, but a tough, cool, famous detective like the ones he reads about in mystery novels. </p><p>Everyone knows a famous detective needs a sidekick, and Mrs. Edie Yakots, a lonely bride new to the neighborhood, is Andy's. She may not be what he had in mind--he sometimes has a hard time just figuring out what she's talking about--but she proved herself simply by being the only one to volunteer for the job. Plus, she appreciates dragons, often talking about standing up to them. </p><p>Together, Andy and Edie keep an eye out for suspicious happenings...until one day, passing through an inner-city neighborhood a short drive and light years away from Foxmeadow, they wind up right in the middle of a real-life crime.</p>
