purplepenning 's review for:

Opal Watson: Private Eye by Brittany J. Thurman
4.0
adventurous informative mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

A little too straightforward for some tastes (including mine) but appropriate for lots of readers in the target age (upper elementary and middle grade).

Opal is a great character — grounded and resourceful — and the disability rep and bits of history don't disappoint.
