Vanishing Acts (Madison Kincaid Mystery)

ALA Booklist"Best-selling adult author Margolin teams up with his daughter in this youth debut that pulls a few Nancy Drew parallels into a wholly contemporary story. A budding romance and vivid court scenes give readers more reasons to hope for future installments of Madison's adventures."

Move over, Nancy Drew! Madison Kincaid is here! Like Nancy Drew, Madison Kincaid is a talented, motherless amateur sleuth, with a criminal defense attorney father who needs her assistance in solving a tough case (whether or not he realizes it), and who gives her plenty of unsupervised freedom to do so. In this debut middle-grade novel from a father-daughter writer team (Margolin himself is a criminal defense attorney turned New York Times bestselling mystery author), Madison stumbles upon not one, but two mysteries as she starts junior high.
