There are some strange new pets in Sly's neighborhood: a cat on a diet that keeps getting fatter, a fish that seems angry at its owner, and a peculiar pet named Wilson that suddenly disappears!
Only Sly the Sleuth can solve these mysteries. Grade-schooler by day, private detective by afternoon, Sly (a.k.a Sylvia) uses her sharp wits and reasoning skills to get to the bottom of these odd goings-on.
Donna Jo Napoli teams up with her son, Robert Furrow, and illustrator Heather Maione to create a heroine who is not only smart and spunky, but also tremendously funny.

Gr. 2-4. Why is Kate's cat so fat? Why does Jack's fish hate him? Why is Melody's dog acting crazy? In the first of a simple chapter-book series about detective Sylvia, "Sly" solves the mysteries of the pets on her block, dyes her hair blue (short-term), and talks to her cat, Taxi. Some of the detective work is a bit convoluted. But Sly's first-person account makes her friendship and bickering with the kids, grown-ups, and pets on the street as much fun as the mysteries, and Maione's lively black-and-white pictures capture the neighborhood characters and the animals they love.
