A heart-warming Valentines mystery

Pippas teacher tells her students to make a love list--a list of all the things that take up room in their hearts. Pippa makes her list, but when she finds someone elses and sees that her own name has been written down, along with all of her favorite things, she discovers she has a secret admirer! Maybe the best friend shes always hoped for is right in her classroom, if only she can crack the case. Good thing theres nothing Pippa loves more than a good detective story. Will she solve the mystery of the love list and find a new friend?


From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-Mystery-loving Pippa the porcupine has a problem: Valentine's Day is coming and her whole class is working on their "love lists" of "things that take up room in your heart." Pippa, who would rather read the latest "Sherlock Gnomes" mystery novel than make a list, sadly doesn't have a best friend to share things with. She soon learns, however, that a mysterious classmate has added Pippa to a love list and wants to be her friend. How can she figure out who it is? Using a variety of clues, Pippa sets about solving the mystery of the new best friend, who turns out to be quiet, shy, easily overlooked Mitzi the Mouse. Charming illustrations include several visual clues (such as Mitzi reading the same book Pippa loves) and the text includes a few silly puns (a game of "Deer, Deer, Moose" rather than "Duck, Duck, Goose") that are perfect for young readers. Though the opening line, "When you're the only porcupine in your class you stand out" doesn't lead anywhere-there is only one of each type of animal represented-this is a sweet Valentine's Day story with a mystery twist.

A good choice for budding mystery enthusiasts as well as a Valentine's Day read-aloud.Booklist

The book offers a refreshing definition of Valentine's Day as a celebration of the tenderness we feel towards our friends and passions, and young readers will delight in identifying the visual clues that lead to Pippa's best-friend-in-waiting before she discovers them herself. BCCB
