It’s finally summer break, and eight-year-old Meggie Malone is ready to zoom around sticking hilarious Post-Its on Grandma’s behind and eating nothing but lime-green cupcakes.
However, when Mother receives a mysterious phone call, Meggie, AKA Mini Pie the Spy, uses her fabulous detective skills to eavesdrop and soon finds herself wrapped up in the case of the Disappeared Keys.
Meggie tags along to clean houses with Mother and soon realizes she is in way over her head. How can she expect to solve a mystery when she’s constantly interrupted by tickly feather dusters and slippery egg yolks? Meggie fears she’s not cut out for the house cleaning business—so she sticks to what she does best: solving mysteries.
Mini Pie the Spy by Libby LaManna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a delightful book, and my daughter would have enjoyed reading it had she been early elementary–she’s a sixth grader now. But what I will say is that there was nothing inappropriate in the book (unless mild bathroom humor that is typical for little kids bothers you). It was cute, funny, and quite typical. I hope to read more about Mini Pie in the future as she was an absolutely delightful character, and she made a pretty doggone good spy!
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
