jennadb's review against another edition
4.0
What a tale. With no one to trust and nowhere to turn Sparky a young street-smart girl is on the run. Sparky is set to clear her name and find a killer, but friends soon turn to foes in this fun, mystery filled tale.
The Cold Kid Case - A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery is set in the 1930’s. Even though the book is aimed at a younger audience, it was still enjoyable even at my age, if not a little crazy.
This book of filled with plenty of quirky characters and lots of crazy action as Sparky and her would be helpers that tend to hinder rather than help track down what happened to the Cold Kid.
It took me a while to get used to the way the story is told but overall, I found it to be an enjoyable read.
To find out what happens in this story full of mayhem and madness you will have to read it for yourself.

This was an entertaining cozy mystery. Sparky is quite little protagonist. I found the story to be humorous and mysterious. It kept me engaged all the way through. The story has quite a colorful cast of characters that you are not likely to forget. I definitely couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Sparky is such a lovable character. I enjoyed reading all about her plight, new friends, and the dastardly crime that connected them. Sparky's self-talk is the best - so cute and innocent even though she's witnessed and experienced a lot of mature content. Really, really enjoyed
this read.

I would honestly love more books about Sparky and the shadow government (Whisper-Whisper) that is controlling the city. Bookie and Sparky's enslavement. Tootsie and Gilbert - getting back into movies and the unlikely parenting of Sparky. Bobby and his great loyalty to his future wife. So many wonderful characters that I would love to visit again. And some resolution to the murder of Sugar, Dennis, the corrupt police force. Even Spooky - I want to see his character develop. How could an almost wordless character invoke such interest!
