Lulu Dark Can See Through Walls : a Mystery
School Library Journal Review: Gr 9 Up?While at the Big Blonde club, Lulu loses her purse?the one with gorgeous Alfy Romero's phone number in it?and she wants it back. Along with her friends Charlie and Daisy, she sets out to find it and becomes enmeshed in a wild case of identity theft and homicide. Why do people keep telling her that they saw her dancing on tables the night before when she was in bed at 9:30? Just who is the mysterious "Sally Hansen" who spies on them and simultaneously gives herself a manicure? And who is the dead body sporting the silver-shark tattoo that was found in the river? With a flip buoyancy that bops off the page, Lulu Dark and her buddies tackle purse snatchers, apathetic police detectives, society matrons, and murderers with aplomb. Halo City is also a big player in this book, evoking scenes of Gotham City and all of its character. Teens searching for a lighthearted mystery will adore Lulu, and they will eagerly await the next installment in the series.?Lynn Evarts, Sauk Prairie High School, Prairie du Sac, WI Copyright ?
