Zoe Lucky and the Mystery of the Pink Pearl Necklace

ZOE LUCKY and The Mystery of the Pink Pearl Necklace Zoe Lucky is a seventh grader at the Winston-Thurston School in Shadyside, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Because of her interest in solving crimes and her success in cracking the Green Gables' Mystery, she forms a sleuth group named ZINGERZ with two of her classmates, Ginger and Jazz. They handle several problems at school, but when Jazz's mom is missing and there is a scene of violence connected to her disappearance, this case becomes ZINGERZ' main focus. A Pink Pearl Necklace is the main piece of evidence. It keeps coming back as the mystery deepens. Paki, a plucky African Gray Parrot, who speaks Swahili and English, is Zoe's constant companion and sidekick. He helps her through some dangerous situations in and around Pittsburgh (the North Side, the Lower Hill District, Shadyside, Mount Washington, and Kennywood Amusement Park.) During the solving of this multi-cultural mystery there is a shocking revelation that will sweeten, deepen and complicate the lives of Zoe and her friends.
