Two friends try to solve the mystery of local robberies in this middle grade novel about a girl who believes she has witnessed a crime.

What happens when two best friends take on the world's worst summer?

On the first day of vacation, ten-year-old Ivy Crowden falls down the stairs and breaks her leg. Stuck in a plaster cast, she's certain her summer is doomed. Not even Teddy, her neighbor and best friend, can cheer her up because he's dealing with his own pain: the loss of a beloved dog.

But when Ivy witnesses a possible burglary from her living room window, her summer takes a sudden turn from meh to mysterious. Who are the criminals? Might a classmate be involved? And . . . uh-oh. A second mystery is nipping at Ivy's heels. Cue the best friends, the best dog, and the best chance that summer can be saved!

Mystery on Magnolia Circle:

"Klise's diction captures age-appropriate cadence while drawing sympathetic characters in this multi-mystery novel." --Publishers Weekly

Stay: A Girl, A Dog, A Bucket List:

2018 ALSC/ALA Notable Children's Book
An Iowa Public Radio Best Book of 2017

"Who says bucket lists are just for humans? Not the Klise sisters, who gracefully trace a girl's growing awareness of her dog's impending death. Evocative acrylics amplify the matter-of-fact narrative, showing Astrid growing taller and more active as Eli slows down . . . The Klises close with an image of girl and dog watching the sunset over the water, a moment that . . . is both emotionally restrained and full of feeling." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
