⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A compelling page-turner perfect for a middle school audience.
A dead musician. A stolen ancient artifact. A race through the hidden secrets of New York City's most famous park.
Harper Jensen thought moving from her family's Pennsylvania farm to Manhattan would be the hardest challenge of her life. She misses horseback riding, her father, and the peaceful country life she left behind. But when her younger brother Bodhi discovers a body beneath Central Park's iconic Bow Bridge, Harper's new life takes a dramatic turn.
Joined by her new friends Eli, Addie, Zara, and Gabriel, Harper forms the Central Park Irregulars - a team of young detectives inspired by Sherlock Holmes's legendary street investigators. Together, they uncover a dangerous mystery involving a murdered jazz musician, a stolen archaeological treasure known as the Death Mask of Tylos, and a criminal conspiracy that may threaten Harper's own family.
As clues lead them through famous landmarks, hidden history, and secret corners of Central Park, the Irregulars must use intelligence, teamwork, and problem solving skills to stay one step ahead of dangerous criminals. With every discovery, the stakes grow higher - and time is running out.
Perfect for fans of James Ponti, The Sherlock Society, Greenglass House, and classic young detective stories, The Central Park Irregulars combines suspense, friendship, history, and adventure into an unforgettable reading experience.
