In this lighthearted, illustrated chapter book series, ten-year-old twin detectives Ming and Wah invite readers to hunt for clues and solve neighborhood mysteries. No case too small, for fees not too large!
Ten-year-old twins Ming and Wah can get to the bottom of any mystery! Sometimes they disagree on methods, but they're always in sync when they crack a case. With a librarian mother and a journalist father, they were practically born to be detectives. They're bursting with useful information from all the books they devour, and they know exactly what questions to ask in an investigation.
So, the summer before fifth grade, they decide to go pro and open up The Ming and Wah Detective Agency: "No case too small for fees not too large!" Their best friend, Aileen, soon joins the team. Luckily, their small town in New Jersey is filled with mysteries, big and small: a vandalized neighborhood, a rigged horseshoe contest, and even a masked burglar! Will the young sleuths be able to connect the dots in each case and prevent jerks from spoiling everyone's summer?
The first installment of The Ming & Wah Detective Agency series introduces the curious, clever, and determined suburban sleuths, Ming and Wah. With a sweet, lighthearted tone, clear writing, and one case per chapter, this is the perfect book to introduce young readers to the mystery genre, and the satisfaction of deducing solutions.
Ming and Wah Chen are identical twins who love history, plucky heroes and anything by Agatha Christie. Graduates of Harvard and Columbia Universities respectively, they have authored three picture books together, including the Kirkus Reviews-starred picture book Escape: One Day We Had to Run. They live in Hong Kong and Los Angeles and have six wonderful children between them.
