Just the title of the book was enough to get me to read it.
This story follows a fifteen-year-old girl named Iris as she conquers many obstacles in New York City, 1942. After a series of family events, she has to change everything about her life: where she lives, how she lives, and even who she lives with. And on top of that, she has to switch from going to private school (where she has gone for as long as she can remember) to attending public school.
Iris' father, Pop, owns a detective agency, and is assigned the task of finding Tom Barney, a missing student who goes to the same public school as Iris. At one point Pop reaches what seems like a dead-end and Iris decides to jump in and try to solve the case by continuing the investigation. After sneaking around and lying, even to her family and friends, Iris discovers the truth about Tom Barney's disappearance.
I enjoyed this book because it was a mystery, and it was set in a different time period. Anyone who likes mysteries or somewhat historical fiction would like this book.
