Gr 2-4--Wallace and Grace are owl detectives. At night they help their animal friends solve mysteries, from the spooky noises of a might-be ghost to the crumbly caper of the missing cupcake. The writing is simple and enjoyable for emerging readers. More challenging terms such as conclusion and quandary (Wallace loves big words) are sprinkled in with explanations. In The Cupcake Caper, Wallace and Grace help a foul-tempered chipmunk discover who consumed his treat. In Take the Case, the pair aid a rabbit solve the case of a potential ghost. Many animals are suspects, and the clues lead the feathered sleuths to a satisfying ending. The illustrations are colorful and engaging, and there is a good balance between words and illustrations so new readers will be encouraged. VERDICT Fans of Rebecca Elliott's "Owl Diaries" will flock to this adorable new series.--Kris Hickey, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
