This review is from: The Case of the Nana-Napper #2 (Wright & Wong) (Paperback)

I love this book. Seventh-graders Benjamin Orville Wright (B. Orville Wright), who has Asperger's Syndrome and his sleuthing partner, Agatha Wong are on the Mystery Trail Again! Makes you think of the old "Bloodhound Detective Agency. You lack 'em, we track 'em. You misplace 'em, we trace 'em." These two little bloodhounds have quite a mystery - Agatha's Nana is missing!

Clues are turned over and analyzed by Orville. A bright, delightful and believable character with Asperger's, Orville is obsessed with airplanes; loves the fact that he is named after one of the famous Wright Brothers and often does not get the point of jokes or even recognize them. Despite his social difficulties, he can count on his one friend, Agatha. When her Nana is reported missing, he is ready to help.

First they check out the store Agatha's Nana owns. Her crackpot uncle is her guardian in name only and he is a very irresponsible person. His idea of responsibility is to make Agatha turn in at the ridiculously early hour of 7:30 and not let her go outside.

Agatha has other ideas. She sneaks out and, with Orville in tow, they examine every clue. Orville notices things about a note Nana Wong has written; he catches things like the color of her nail polish and objects around the store. Their sleuthing takes them far and wide and...to a very funny conclusion!

A delightful story that will bring a smile to faces of all ages and many a hearty laugh.
