Review
Illustrations are pencil. Smashie and her best friend Dontel are in third grade. On the day they have a sub, someone glue's things to people without their knowing about it, the classroom pet, Patches, is stolen, and a pin is taken from the classroom next door. Smashie and her friend become detectives to determine who done it.
The vocabulary in the book is wonderful. (I had to look up balaclava helmet!) More examples are; " Ensconced in the cushions in the reading area"... and " Room 11 is a team... one member has violated that trust..."
Overall Book Score: very good
