Books like Howard Wallace, P.I. by Casey Lyall
Howard Wallace, a twelve‑year‑old with a passion for sleuthing, has turned his bedroom by the school equipment shed into a secret office, donning a bathrobe as his trench coat. When a high‑profile blackmail case lands on his desk, Howard is ready to marshal his ingenuity and instincts to crack the mystery. The tension rises when Ivy Mason, a new student, joins him as a junior partner, and together they navigate stakeouts and a list of suspects. As they work side by side, Howard begins to question whether partnership—and the friendship it brings—might be the greatest clue of all.
