A 2018-2019 Missouri Mark Twain Readers Award preliminary nominee (grades 4-6).
It is 1920s Chicago. Isabel Feeney sells newspapers on a street corner. When a murder occurs a block away and one of her favorite customers is the prime suspect, Isabel, an aspiring girl reporter, decides to investigate.
This was not very realistic, but cute. I liked the plucky Isabel Feeney. I wished some of the other characters were developed more.

Actual rating closer to 3.5 stars. The first half went by very quickly, but the plot dragged along in places in the second half. I guessed the real murderer rather quickly, and I worried about historical accuracy at times.

This was a fun read, but I think I only really enjoyed it for the first half. After that it just got a little boring.
