In "Rabbit Hole" it's Joey Strade, who has a crush on Ingrid and who happens to be the police chief's son. As is common when teens are fighting crime, Ingrid brings along a friend. The mystery here involves the murder of a loony resident of Echo Falls, the town where Ingrid lives, and the fact that Ingrid has struck up a secret friendship with the woman before her death and the fact that Ingrid's soccer cleats are found near the body.
(Yes, I know that's not a word, but this book is so good it makes you want to create new adjectives.) Peter Abrahams usually writes thrillers for adults, but his first try at writing a mystery for kids is funny, scary, surprising and just about can't-put-downable. There's soccer practice, school, her role as Alice in her town's production of "Alice in Wonderland" - oh, and there's that murder she has got to solve.
