Nancy Springer recommends
Murder Most Unladylike (2014)
(Wells and Wong Mystery / Murder Most Unladylike Mystery, book 1)
Robin Stevens
"Murder Is Bad Manners lured me in with a charming British voice, and then, just as I started to get cozy, snap! I was trapped in a serious mystery problem. Robin Stevens develops her girl detectives with a light, deft touch and delivers denouement with a flourish."
The Emerald Circus (2017)
Jane Yolen
"Talk about imaginary gardens with real toads in them! In this wide-ranging short story collection, Jane Yolen’s scholarship and creative genius combine to bestow upon the reader fantastic new intimacy with venerable tales and persons."
