Description
Set in 1943 in Brightvale, Virginia, ten-year-old Lucy Sinclair sees the world through a detective's eyes. With her notebook, her lucky red ribbon, and the unwavering support of her best friends (the quick-witted thrill-seeker Karen Baxter and cautious but ever-brilliant Oliver Grayson), Lucy turns everyday fifth-grade mysteries into adventures worthy of her favorite detective novels. But when wartime supplies vanish around town, Lucy stumbles onto something far bigger than the usual schoolyard shenanigans. What begins as a thrilling collection of cases becomes a test of empathy and understanding, as she discovers that being a great detective isn't just about catching culprits--it's about understanding why people do what they do. The Sinclair Files: Book One is the first installment in a warm and witty historical mystery series that blends clever sleuthing with the deeper complexities of life in America during World War II.
