Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams
4.0
Down the Rabbit Hole is a fun middle grade read that I adored as a middle schooler. It was one of my county's Battle of the Book picks when I was in eighth grade, and I recently rediscovered it (via an awful picture of me posing with the book as a 14-year-old).
Protagonist Ingrid is fun, spunky, and impossible not to love. She inadvertently leaves evidence — red soccer cleats — at the scene of a crime (a place where she wasn't supposed to be in the first place) and spends the novel following in her hero Sherlock Holmes' footsteps in order to get her shoes back and solve the mystery at the same time.
A great read for middle schoolers and those looking to wax nostalgic about their own youth.
