Jasmine Toguchi, Super Sleuth - Paperback

by Debbi Michiko Florence (Author), Elizabet Vukovic (Illustrator)

The second instalment of this award winning chapter book series for fans of Alvin Ho and Ivy & Bean follows Jasmine as she prepares to celebrate a Japanese holiday with her favorite girls!

It's a big weekend for Jasmine Toguchi! She's excited to celebrate Girl's Day--a Japanese holiday honoring women and girls--with her sister, mother, and best friend, Linnie. Jasmine's neighbor, Mrs. Reese, lets Jasmine and Linnie search through her old clothes for the perfect accessories for Girl's Day. But the clothes are in her dark garage, which is kind of scary. And Linnie decides to go home early, which is kind of weird. And Jasmine's big sister, Sophie, doesn't seem to want to join in the Girl's Day fun this year, which is kind of confusing. WHAT is going on?

As her big weekend plans start to unravel, Jasmine must use her sleuthing skills to spot the clues around her--and within herself. Then maybe, just maybe, she can put everything back in order before Girl's Day is over!

With humor and warmth, Debbi Michiko Florence tells a relatable story of celebration and friendship. Paired with Elizabet Vukovic's playful illustrations, readers can't help but root for Jasmine.
