Moxie and The Art of Rule Breaking
Moxie and the Art of Rule Breaking: A 14 Day Mystery
by Erin DionneIn this middle grade mystery, Moxie and her friend Ollie are spending their summer break evading gangsters, searching for stolen art, and trying not to get killed.
It is a really nice book. I liked the heroine, even if she did do stupid things sometimes, they weren't so stupid they made me disbelieve. In fact, she did SMART things sometimes, even thought they might have made the story slightly less exciting, it made a lot of sense, and then that made the bad choices a lot more believable.
Very cryptic. I know. But I'm trying not to ruin things. It is a mystery, after all.
I like the friend, too. I ESPECIALLY like the fact that they ARE friends. With no hint of a romance at all. Because, yes, boys and girls (and men and women) can actually be friends without any awkwardness. For real. :-)
