Who doesn't love a good detective story? We sure do. That's just one of the reasons we're so happy to have hometown (detective) storyteller and generally good person Stephanie Watson to Wild Rumpus.
But wait! There's more!
This isn't just any visit. This is the Minneapolis Launch PAR-TAY for Elvis & Olive: Super Detectives! And if you deduced that this is the newly released sequel to Elvis & Olive, you may be well on your way to your own investigative vocation (or avocation)!
So put on your party shoes and your Sherlock Holmes-style detective hat (only pipes with bubbles, please), and come on over to meet Stephanie, Elvis, and Olive.
You know you want to.
This detective is undercover.

Ten-year-old Natalie Wallis is a shy bookish perfectionist. Annie Beckett (age 9) is a wild tomboy liar. Why do these two very different girls become friends? Because they’ve got some serious spying to do.
“Even the most dull-looking people do all kinds of weird, interesting things when they think no one’s watching,” Annie says. With this in mind, the girls form a secret spying club and start snooping on their neighbors under the code names Elvis & Olive.
By the end of their summer together, Elvis & Olive have uncovered a number of strange secrets about their neighbors. Eaten far too many freeze pops. And formed a friendship like no other.
"Watson's debut is a solid exploration of friendship and self-confidence themes that are so important to middle-grade girls." -- BOOKLIST
"...a satisfying friendship story with drama and humor in fine balance." --Kirkus Reviews
