In the heart of Brooklyn, New York, there is an alley that is the most beautiful place to live in the whole wide world. Or so Connie Ives believes. The alley is the perfect location to sharpen Connie's swinging skills, hold practices for the Alley Conservatory of Music, and convict a burglar by trial.
From the bestselling author of Ginger Pye comes the story of a little girl whose eyes are always open to the beauty of the world that surrounds her.
When a mysterious burglary shatters the peace of their cozy neighborhood, it's up to Connie and her friend Billy to piece together the clues.
- A Wholesome Kids Mystery: Join Connie and Billy as they investigate a real-life robbery in their seemingly safe alley, gathering clues from nosey neighbors and suspicious strangers.
- Middle Grade Friendship Story: At the heart of the adventure is the wonderful friendship between observant Connie and her shy, loyal best friend, Billy Maloon.
- Charming Brooklyn Setting: Discover the enchanting world of The Alley, a cozy, locked-gate community in the heart of Brooklyn where adventure is always around the corner.
- Classic Kids Chapter Book: Perfect for young readers who love timeless stories, from Eleanor Estes, the beloved Newbery Medal-winning author of Ginger Pye.
