Meet Sophie Young and Grace Yang. They are seventh grade detectives as well as BFFs. Their newest case features Luna Vista's unbelieveable middle-school counselor, Dr. Charlotte Agford. Young and Yang are teaming up to find out what's wrong the sickeningly sweet, fake counselor.I selected this title, because it looked like a winner for young ladies who love mysteries. When I started listening, I thought it could be an alternate universe for pre-teen Veronica Mars and her friend Lily. But no, it is not an alternate universe for Marshmallows. Kittscher wrote her own standalone tween crime novel. It took me a while to appreciate this piece. The ridiculous body humor didn't appeal to me, but I can see it causing snickers in a middle school library.The investigation became more complex as the story unfolded. I appreciated the plot twists (which I won't share, because I don't want to give anything away). The friendship storyline was also well written. Young and Yang are complete opposites, which can work well together, but also create some strife at times. Yet true friendship will stand the test of time and a dedicated detective will always get their man (or woman)!This is the first time I have heard Amanda Philipson narrate a book. Her voices is well suited for bringing teenagers to life. She also had wonderful enthusiasm!Reviewed from a library copy. A well-written mystery about two 7th graders whose tendency to spy on their neighbors gets them mixed up in an unsolved murder case. Is the school counselor really who she claims to be? What about the FBI agent who tracks them down? Lots of twists keep the reader guessing, although there were times when I figured out parts of the mystery a lot sooner than the main characters, which made the story drag a bit. I especially liked the character of Trista, who brought a lot of humor and spunk to the book. A good read for middle schoolers who enjoy mysteries.
