From the creators of the bestselling My Life series comes a
colorfully illustrated mystery adventure about Hannah Sharpe, an
observant young cartoonist on the autism spectrum and her cartoon
alter ego in this colorfully illustrated adventure. Young
cartoonist Hannah Sharpe has many strengths: she's curious,
creative, has an amazing memory, and most important-she notices
things. When Doug Williams moves into her family's Airbnb, Hannah
can't shake the feeling that he's got something to hide. But his
girlfriend, Remy Furtado, couldn't be nicer or more helpful. As
Hannah investigates, often with her sketchbook in hand, she makes a
series of unsettling discoveries involving stolen packages, changed
keypad codes, and hidden stacks of cash. Can Hannah crack the case
and unfold the mystery on her own? Including full-colour
illustrations with panel art featuring Hannah and her cartoon alter
ego, Dusty Pickle, here is a thoughtful and propulsive new book
starring a neurodiverse protagonist.
