![]() Young readers can learn how to deal with conflicts with their friends through these pages, and each character is diverse and unique, which also helps readers broaden their horizons. The situations she writes them into, while sometimes a little wacky, are still realistic. Hope Larson has written some incredible characters here. He gets rather tongue-tied around women, but if you need someone to crack a case, well… he is an actual detective after all! At one point, Cheryl even realizes that Goldie would in fact do anything for her, and it dawns on her that sometimes our friends can make mistakes. Walter, the actual detective Goldie works with, is shy, but also bright and thoughtful. She knows everything about space and what it takes to be an astronaut (she's even the correct height to be one!), and she has no problem aiding her friend on some pretty crazy adventures. Goldie's best friend, Cheryl, is a smart, fearless young lady who has dreams of working for NASA. Diane is just as every bit cool and smart at her girlfriend, and the two make for an exceptional team. As a character she grows exceptionally well through the series - from learning how to not steal the spotlight from her friends, to finding her first love in Diane. ![]() ![]() She reminds me of Nancy Drew, but much more vivacious. But the real draws are the diverse and dynamic characters! As I said, Goldie is a plucky teen. ![]() The stories in all three volumes are fun, engaging, and perfectly suitable for readers of all ages. ![]()
