The Case of the Missing Hello House (A BeBe Barber Mystery)
by Denene Millner

BeBe Barber is a star—equal parts funny, outspoken, and drama queen—with a personality that, while (mostly) loved, can get her into a few jams. But when she turns on the charm for a prestigious movie director, she gets exactly what she’s always dreamed: a coveted part in a motion picture being filmed in her town—a role she’s sure will bring her the fame and celebrity she’s awaited for her entire 12 years on the planet. But when someone steals the Hello House, a coveted town fixture and the key prop in her big movie scene, both BeBe’s star turn and her big dreams are flung into peril. Bebe’s got to save the day—for her town’s sake. And her own.

The Case of the Missing Hello House (A BeBe Barber Mystery) initiates the first African American girl into the ranks of Nancy Drew inspired kid sleuths, giving a nod to the iconic detective while introducing young readers to a high-energy, humorous, big-hearted character who brings a fresh take on culture and history into her fast-paced, clue-driven mysteries.
