As an adult who's read Holmes, and as a child who read every single Nancy Drew book she could get her hands on, along with the Hardy Boys and Boxcar children...I have to say, Ingrid is my favorite gumshoe of all...Echo Falls is filled to the brim with shady characters, and Ingrid's prepared to take them all down...Into the Dark encompasses a wide range of real-life situations in addition to the murder she must solve. The family problems are deep, and Abrahams does a good job of mirroring reality (he really takes no shortcuts). Ingrid isn't perfect, but she marches her way through her problems with a dignity and shrewdness...

What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.
