About this title

Review:

"No mystery is too complicated for Mariella, whether it's a fog that causes bad hair, a potentially haunted stuffed poodle at the museum, or a pasta-loving yeti in the woods. Tips for would-be detectives, case notes, and black-and-white doodles pepper these slender chapter books. Newly independent readers will enjoy the exploits of this private eye with pizzazz."
--School Library Journal, June 2015

"Kate Pankhurst's series would be a great introduction to mysteries for young readers."
--Library Media Connection

"Sweet, solid choices for those making their first forays into chapter books." - School Library Journal, October 2014
