Shelby Holmes is not your average sixth grader. She's nine years old, barely four feet tall, and the best detective her Harlem neighbourhood has ever seen-always using logic and a bit of pluck (which yes, some might call "bossiness') to solve the toughest crimes. When eleven-year-old John Watson moves downstairs, Shelby finds something that's eluded her up till now: a friend. The easy-going John isn't sure of what to make of Shelby, but suddenly, New York's prize pooch is stolen and Holmes and Watson are swept up in a dog-napping case that'll take teamwork to solve!
