Reviews
""Lark's chatty first-person narration conveys the problem-solving process, as well as her experiences with dyslexia. As in the previous entries in this Orca Echoes series, the short, fast-paced chapters, dyslexia-friendly font, and lively black-and-white spot illustrations will appeals to early-chapter-book readers."" -- ""Booklist"" ""With original, diverse characters, quirky illustrations, and a unique first-person point of view, this book stands out. Readers will enjoy Lark's take on the world around her as they work to solve the mystery. Recommended for all collections in search of unique, neurodiverse characters to feature in their early chapter book collections."" -- ""School Library Journal (SLJ)""
