Wilma Tenderfoot and the Case of the Frozen Hearts by Emma Kennedy
Wilma Tenderfoot, a small but determined ten-year-old
orphan, dreams of becoming a world-famous detective so she can find out who her
parents are. She is very good at
finding clues and making deductions, especially with the help of her dog, Pickle.
Luckily, Wilma discovers that her new neighbor is the legendary
detective Theodore P. Goodman, and he
has a new case. The priceless Katzin Stone has been stolen, and anyone with a
connection to the stone seems to end up with a frozen heart (gasp!). Wilma’s sure she can solve the mystery - as
soon as Theodore makes her his apprentice…and Pickle stops eating all the
clues.
With wicked humor, dastardly villains, red herrings, and a
setting that would make Sherlock Holmes proud, this adventure is funny, feisty,
cheeky, and charming – just like Wilma.
For readers who enjoy Wimpy Kid and Big Nate:

were kidnapped by a sinister organization known as the Vespers,

nothing to bring the hostages home. But then the ransom comes in and the Vespers
demand the impossible. Amy and Dan have just days to track down and steal an
ancient map. The only catch? No one has seen the map for half a century.
Now Amy and Dan are on a desperate search that will lead
them to the Nazis, spies, a mad king and some of history's dirtiest secrets.
It's the race of their lives . . . and one misstep will mean certain death for
the hostages.
