Grades 4-6

In this follow-up to The Midnight Tunnel (2011), when Suzanna is invited by her grandmother to spend time in Boston, she is convinced that her uncle Bruce, a noted detective, will finally learn to appreciate her. He is trying to uncover some missing artwork that is linked to arson, and does not approve when Zanna is drawn into the mystery as well by a classmate at Miss Lydia Doucette's Academy for Young Ladies. Adele Horne's father owns the warehouses that have been burned, and Zanna quickly joins forces with Adele and Will to try to get to the bottom of what is happening. When Zanna's long-lost grandfather shows up, that only increases the puzzle-- he is a notorious thief, but surely he would not have set the fires. The plot line moves quickly and will keep readers guessing till the end. Fans of Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series will enjoy getting to know Zanna Snow.
