Lawrence, Caroline P.K. Pinkerton and the Pistol-Packing Widows 289 pgs. Penguin Group, 2014. $16.99. Language: G (0 swears); Violence: PG; Mature Content: PG13 (innuendo).
12-year-old P.K. Pinkerton, Private Eye and Master of Disguise, is off on his 3rd big case. This time, to Carson City, Nevada, where in 1862 the Legislature is meeting. P.K. has been hired by Poker Face Jace's fiancee to spy on him, make sure he's safe and not courting other women. But when P.K. discovers Jace is seeing a "black widow" who has discovered his identity, he has to change his plans. Is this the end of P.K. Pinkerton?
Another well-written western, this mystery is sure to please. Not too gritty view of the old west, the misspelled and edited swears make this a perfect read for upper elementary and middle school kids. EL, MS - ADVISABLE Lisa Librarian
