A young handwriting analyst unravels a mystery with a talking bird's help.
Eleven-year-old Lucy dreams of becoming a renowned handwriting expert. When her neighbor Zelda vanishes, leaving only a mysterious note, Lucy is on the case. With her talking bird friend, Pigeon, and upstairs neighbor Nicky, Lucy must use her graphology skills to solve the mystery. Can she uncover the truth behind Zelda's disappearance before it's too late?
An aspiring handwriting analyst tracks down her missing neighbor in this caper from the author of The Problem with the Puddles. More than anything, eleven-year-old Lucy wants to be the world’s most famous handwriting expert. “You can learn a lot about a person through how they write their I’s,” she tells her friend, Pigeon–who just so happens to be a talking bird. When Lucy’s neighbor Zelda goes missing and the only clue is a cryptic handwritten note, Lucy is determined to crack the case using her graphology skills. With some help from Nicky, who lives upstairs, and plenty of advice from Pigeon (who just so happens to be very opinionated), can Lucy decipher the whereabouts of her apartment building’s missing resident?
