Milo Hart is ten, sharp as a tack, and in Brookside he is known as Hawkeye Hart. In a small river town with two bridges, a riverwalk, and an old brick mill district where little problems have a way of turning into real mysteries, Milo sees the one detail other people miss. When a science fair comet turns up ruined on display day, when strange flashing lights on a bridge send rumors racing through town, and when a missing spigot handle threatens to spoil practice and blame the wrong kids, Hawkeye is the one who starts asking the right questions.
These are not big-city crimes or dangerous chases. They are the kind of mysteries kids actually care about, the kind that start with a damaged project, a suspicious contest, a shady trade at the ballfield, or a raffle that feels lucky in all the wrong ways. With his close friend Tessa Ruiz beside him when the trouble gets crowded, and with Rex Hanlon and the Badgers always ready to stir up one scam or another, Milo has to sort truth from bluff using sharp eyes, quick thinking, and logic that readers can follow for themselves.
