The Books!

​Book One:
The Case of The Absent Answers

Picturefind it on amazon!
Mickie McKinney is Maple Ridge Middle School's one and only private detective. (Not that anyone else wants the job). So when the new girl is accused of stealing the history test answers, Mickie has a hunch that the school bully, Tommy Tubbins might be behind the crime. However, while Mickie suspects Tommy Tubbins is the true perpetrator, he still needs to prove it - without angering the meanest kid in school in the process.

With the help of an orange smudge, the school’s mad scientist, and the wisdom of his late father, Mickie is willing to follow the clues and unmask the true culprit. If only his sweet tooth and propensity to monologue won't get in his way.

 A story of humor and friendship, this well-meaning, somewhat strange, size-small sleuth will find his way into your hearts as he tries to solve, The Case of the Absent Answers.
Book Two:
Troubles with Teamwork
Picturefind it on amazon!
Mickie McKinney is no longer Maple Ridge Middle School’s one and only private detective. 

​Now there is a certain blonde by the name of Sam Hayes to share the office with, and the cases, who keeps giving away the candy!

So when Angus McDermitt hires Mickie to help him ask Kailani Groom to the school dance, Mickie sees it as an opportunity to work one last solo case. Too bad for him, Kailani is the girl of his dreams.
