Thanks for the kind words. Wally is a wonderful, memorable character. I love that some of his quirks are shown in a positive light. I also like the way his sister appreciates his good qualities.

Great review! You made this book sound like a lot of fun. My 6-year old and I read children's books together and this one seems right up her alley. She loves stories about creative kids and would likely love Wally and Sasha. Thanks for the new book idea to add to our list!

Thanks Shelle. The book is a fun read. I think your 6-year-old would really like the main characters and the disguises The Faker wears.

Sounds like a very enjoyable book with lovable characters. I can already imagine young detectives at work. Great review. Congratulations to Ted Kelsey for such a well-written book.

Thanks Kimmyschemy. The strong characterization development of Wally and Shasha is what makes this book shine.
