Grab your magnifying glass… In Snoopers and Sneakers, by Cristina Rouvalis and Lydia Wayman, Jane and Ashley seem dissimilar on the surface. Jane is autistic. She is a quiet genius with a love for cats, while Ashley is an irrepressible member of a group of popular girls at school. However, they both agree that Miss DiMicco is the best teacher in the world. When Miss DiMicco is arrested, the two girls join forces to clear their teacher’s name, leading to an unexpected friendship. As they navigate the ups and downs of sixth grade—including dealing with bullies, choosing the right shoes, and managing an annoying substitute teacher—Jane and Ashley discover that they fit together like two pieces of the same puzzle. But can they save their teacher and strengthen their friendship?
Make way for a new generation of amateur detectives! Snoopers and Sneakers, by Cristina Rouvalis and Lydia Wayman, introduces readers to Ashley and Jane. With Ashley’s charisma and bold resolve and Jane's intelligence and attention to detail, Rouvalis and Wayman create characters with the necessary qualities to be the next iconic super sleuths. The thoughtful glimpse into life with autism fosters empathy and understanding of individuals with neurological differences. The girls' struggles with fake friendships make their challenges highly relatable, and believable storytelling allows readers to become immersed in the story. Engaging clues, multiple likely suspects, and a sense of urgency make it a fast-paced page-turner. If you enjoyed Wonder by R.J. Palacio, you’ll love this heartwarming story about unlikely friendships and standing up for what is right.
