Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer Zusammenfassung

Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer Gillian Goerz

Jamila Waheed is staring down a lonely summer in a new neighbourhood - until she meets Shirley Bones. Sure, Shirley's a little strange, but both girls need a new plan for the summer, and they might as well become friends. Then this kid Oliver shows up begging for Shirley's help. His pet gecko has disappeared, and he's sure it was stolen! That's when Jamila discovers Shirley's secret: She's the neighbourhood's best kid detective, and she's on the case. When Jamila discovers she's got some detective skills of her own, a crime-solving partnership is born. The mystery of the missing gecko turns Shirley and Jamila's summer upside down. And when their partnership hits a rough patch, they have to work together to solve the greatest mystery of all: What it means to be a friend.

Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer Bewertungen

Praise for Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer

Goerz's easy, comic style, reminiscent of the art in Raina Telgemeier's books, brings her characters to life. . . . The novel deepens as the girls discovers another surprising truth: Everyone deserves a chance to have his or her story heard, even the guilty. With a sly nod to the original Holmes and Watson, Shirley and Jamila use their wits to connect, with each other and their community. -New York Times Book Review

Goerz is a master of character development, making no one into a villain and no one into a saint and giving each a fascinating role to play. . . . An action-packed graphic novel about finding-and forgiving-our closest friends. -Kirkus, starred review

Goerz's simple, expressive style lends itself well to a heartwarming whodunit that is, at its core, a story of friendship with a wonderfully inclusive cast. -Publishers Weekly, starred review

This well-executed graphic novel strikes a balance between a focus on meaningful relationships and just plain fun; it's a great choice for fans of both the 'Cam Jansen' books and Raina Telgemeier. -School Library Journal

What unfolds [in Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer] is not just a mystery about a missing gecko, but a well-observed story about the need for friendship and the many ways it can unfold. -The Virginian-Pilot

Good mysteries are shockingly difficult to write. That's why I'm so thrilled to encounter Gillian Goerz's new 'Shirley and Jamila' series. Firmly rooted in reality, the book tips its hat low to Sherlock Holmes but maintains an originality entirely of its own. -Betsy Bird, SLJ's A Fuse 8 Production
