Mission 1: All in a Day's Work (Vol. 1)
Being brilliant ten-year-olds in a competitive Eighth Grade Honors Class is a minute-by-minute challenge. After a Central Park zookeeper is the victim of a suspicious hit-and-run accident, Super Sleuths Sophia MacGregor and Pedro Gonzalez investigate the zookeeper’s questionable replacement with the help of their telepathic animal friends. When they uncover a plot by Russian poachers to abduct Jack the Polar Bear, instead of battling middle school snobs and bullies, they find themselves targeted by the Russian mob!

Sophia has some wonderful friends that are there for her after her Nana’s death, Pedro and Mr O’D. Our story starts here and is wonderfully shown, not told. You can see her spoiled cat, see and feel the embarrassment as Sophia is tripped by “Cruella” to land in a handsome boy’s lap.

Sophia and Pedro go to a school where uniforms are worn, but the upper-crust classmates are given preference by the teacher.

Susan Stoderl's book is a delight. Wonderful book for my niece, after I read it first. I also love that it has a little bit of History in it about NYC. I would recommend it for any young person who loves to read.
Thank you Susan for a great book!
