The Penderwicks meets Front Desk in this timeless middle grade novel about two autistic sisters who start a family detective agency to solve life's most consequential mysteries
When twelve-year-old Lara Finkel starts her very own detective agency, FIASCCO (Finkel Investigation Agency Solving Consequential Crimes Only), she does not want her sister, Caroline, involved. In their big, dynamic family, new mysteries are popping up every day, and Lara doesn't need help figuring them out. But when Caroline brings Lara the firm's first mystery--why did Dad burn the brisket?--Lara relents. And when the sisters try to track down the answer to this little question, they discover an even bigger mystery: Why did Dad lose his job? As the mystery unravels, so does Lara and Caroline's partnership. Caroline has a new friend at school, and Lara cannot figure out what the two of them are up to, but it can't be good. And Caroline does not like Lara's snooping--she's supposed to be trying to solve a mystery about Dad, but now she's spying on Caroline! When FIASCCO and the Finkel family spin out of control, can Caroline and Lara find a way to be friends again?
