About the Author:

DORIAN CIRRONE lives in Davie, Florida. She is also the author of Dancing in Red Shoes Will Kill You.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 1-3–Lindy Blues spends most of her time gathering news for the broadcasts she holds in her garage at 6:00 p.m. every Saturday. At first, the fourth grader is only mildly interested when her friend's sister insists that the new ice-cream shop in town has disappeared. She becomes even less interested when she investigates and finds the shop right where it belongs–the person who reported it missing was on the wrong block. This is hardly the sort of scenario that keeps readers turning pages. Although the book follows the rules for easy chapter books–controlled vocabulary, short chapters, and clear action–it lacks an adequate hook. The full-page black-and-white drawings at the beginning of each chapter and the smaller illustrations scattered throughout add a little interest. However, children looking for a mystery would do better to stick with David Adler's Cam Jansen books (Viking).–Adrienne Furness, Webster Public Library, NY
