Summary

The Gumshoe Zoo sleuths are back! “This crisp comic caper will have 4- to 8-year-olds requesting a rousing read-aloud-robustly and repeatedly.” —The Wall Street Journal   When the Gumshoe Zoo’s alarm alerts them, they learn Betty’s Bakery has been burgled! But how? Something isn’t quite right—and it’s up to these determined detectives to figure out what! Alliteration abounds in this comic book caper featuring the Gumshoe Zoo, a detective agency facing the craziest crime ever committed: pilfered pastries.   Perfect for lovers of wordplay and sweet treats, not to mention educators and librarians looking for an engaging story to teach alliteration, this multi-paneled early graphic novel is a raucous adventure. Detailed back matter discusses uses of alliteration and animal eating habits.  “Hilarious and impressive.” —Imagination Soup  “The story is a crisp and clever caper, laid out like a comic book in panels . . . This tasty treat’s bound to have young readers alliterating along.” —Kirkus Reviews “These words are on a mission to demonstrate alliteration . . . A clever way to spark young readers’ awareness of this linguistic device.” —Booklist

    Some days, ten-year-old Margaríta Sandoval feels as if the wind might blow her away. The country has been gripped by the Great Depression, so times are hard everywhere. Then she has to leave her família in New Mexico—especially her beloved Abuelita—to move to Fort Steele, Wyoming, where her father has taken a job on the railroad. 
 
 
 
When Margaríta meets Caroline, she's excited to have a friend her own age in Wyoming. But it often seems like Caroline, like many other people in town, doesn't understand or appreciate the Sandovals' Hispanic heritage. At the same time, the Sandovals discover that Abuelita might lose her home unless they can pay off her tax bill. Can Margaríta keep her friend, help her family in New Mexico, and find a place in Fort Steele for good?
