Lou Lou and Pea and the Bicentennial Bonanza by Jill Diamond, Lesley Vamos

2.0

A sweet fun mystery story that is set in a land that seems like ours, but is full instead with happy people with names that rhyme or are alliterative, characters that are obsessed with certain specific things. For example, Lou Lou's father is obsessed with sailing so everything in the house and in their lives has to do with sailing. It's definitely a book I would have relaxed into as a kid, because you know everything will be okay because this world is just like ours only like in a realistic fairytale--and the fact that this whole community is bilingual Spanish/English is really lovely. But it is very, very sweet and in the mold of so many other safe, sweet, almost-cozy mysteries for kids.
