Book 1 in the Marty Frye series!</b> <p/>Marty Frye is not your ordinary sleuth. Marty Frye is a poet detective--he makes up rhymes as he solves small crimes. When his friend Emma's diary is missing, Marty is on the case. When Katie's flour is nowhere to be found, Marty tracks it down. And when the brand-new Action Chuck figures mysteriously vanish from the toy store, Marty unravels the mystery. Will there ever be a case too hard for Marty to solve? Or a word too impossible to rhyme? <p/>A poet detective saves the day in this first book in the illustrated Marty Frye, Private Eye series. <p/><b>A Christy Ottaviano book</b><br><b><br>Titles in the Marty Frye, Private Eye series: </b><br><i>Marty Frye, Private Eye: The Case of the Missing Action Figure</i><br><i>Marty Frye, Private Eye: The Case of the Stolen Poodle</i> <p/><b>More from Janet Tashjian: <br></b><br>The Einstein the Class Hamster series: <br><i>Einstein the Class Hamster</i><br><i>Einstein the Class Hamster and the Very Real Game Show</i><br><i>Einstein the Class Hamster Saves the Library</i> <p/>The Sticker Girl series: <br><i>Sticker Girl<br>Sticker Girl Rules the School<br></i><br>The My Life series: <br><i>My Life as a Book</i><br><i>My Life as a Stuntboy</i><br><i>My Life as a Cartoonist</i><br><i>My Life as a Joke</i><br><i>My Life as a Gamer</i><br><i>My Life as a Ninja </i><br><i>My Life as a Youtuber<br></i><br><b>More from Laurie Keller: </b> <p/>The Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut: <br><i>Arnie, the Doughnut</i><br><i>Invasion of the Ufonuts</i><br><i>The Spinny Icky Showdown</i> <p/>The Scrambled States of America: <br><i>The Scrambled States of America<br>The Scrambled States of America Talent Show <p/>Do Unto Otters<br>Open Wide<br>Grandpa Gazillion's Number Yard<br>Birdy's Smile Book<br>Toys!<br>Fooled You!<br></i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for <i>Marty Frye, Private Eye</i>: <p/>The cadence of Marty's rhyming dialogue is somewhat infectious, and has the added benefit of helping young readers tackle unfamiliar (but rhyming) words. . . .
