Wilma Tenderfoot: The Case of the Frozen Hearts
Written by: Emma Kennedy
Wilma Tenderfoot is a 10-year-old orphan at the Cooper Island Lowside Institute for Woeful Children, which is an evil place run by Madam Scratch. Her life suddenly gets worse when she is sent to do work for Mrs. Waldock, until she discovers she lives next door to Theodore P. Goodman, the island's greatest detective. When a jewel called the Katzin Stone is stolen, Wilma sets out to prove herself to the detective so he will make her his apprentice. The mystery gets even stranger when the owners of the stone end up with frozen hearts! In this Nancy Drew style mystery young readers will be on the edge of their seat trying to solve the case. Wilma’s detective deductions and suspect scouting, along with the antics of her trusty dog, Pickle, make this a funny, feisty and charming mystery.
Another great book for young readers. I picked this one up for my materials and services for children class I am currently taking for my masters degree. We are reviewing several new children's picture books and novels. This book is intended for grades 3-6, although I think any adult would like it as well. It is such a cute story and yes, I do plan to read the rest of the books in the Wilma Tenderfoot series :)
