The Case of the Missing Moonstone
Jordan Stratford
The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency
Knopf (January 2015)
Publisher synopsis: Lady Ada Byron, age eleven, is a genius. Isolated, awkward and a bit rude — but a genius. Mary Godwin, age fourteen, is a romantic. Adventurous, astute, and kind, Mary is to become Ada's first true friend. And together, the girls conspire to form the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency — a secret constabulary for the apprehension of clever criminals. Their first case involves a stolen heirloom, a false confession, and an array of fishy suspects. But it's no match for the deductive powers and bold hearts of Ada and Mary.
