But when the Boney Hand goes missing, insider Frog is suspect number two. <p/> Together, Charlie and Frog must uncover the facts about an old legend and solve their latest case before the trail goes cold. It will take the help of unexpected friends and a daring race against the clock to finally reveal the truth. Explore what it means to be seen in this thrilling Charlie & Frog mystery from Edgar Award-nominated author Karen Kane.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>PRAISE FOR CHARLIE & FROG</b> <p/>"An enjoyable read that artfully mixes adventure, heart, and cultural competence."--<b><i><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></i><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR CHARLIE & FROG</b> <p/>"Kane is a graduate of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and she seamlessly integrates American Sign Language (ASL) and deaf characters into the story, subtly reminding readers that these are capable, complete individuals.
