    <p>Pick a book. Grow a Reader!</p>
<p>This series is part of Scholastic&#39;s early chapter book line <em>Branches</em>, aimed at newly independent readers. With easy-to-read text, high-interest content, fast-paced plots and illustrations on every page, these books will boost reading confidence and stamina. <em>Branches </em>books help readers grow!</p>
<p>Nine-year-old crime reporter Hilde Lysiak is starring in her very own early chapter book series --- inspired by news stories Hilde wrote in real life!</p>
<p>In this first book, there&#39;s been a break-in on Orange Street! Cupcakes have been stolen, and soon a pie goes missing, too. Hilde and her sister/photographer, Izzy, must interview witnesses and follow the clues. Can Hilde crack the case in time to post her news story online?</p>
<p>Joanne Lew-Vriethoff&#39;s personality-filled illustrations appear on every page, bringing Hilde&#39;s adventures to life for young readers!</p>
