A great set of junior detectives

The first installment of a children's detective series, a la "Encyclopedia Brown" or "Nancy Drew", the twist with "Wright and Wong" is that B. Orville Wright has Asperger's Syndrome. The book is fairly standard junior detective fare, but the way that it slips back and forth between the perspective of Orville and his normal best friend, Agatha Wong, makes it special. Each of the kids has a distinct personality, and they both have strengths and weaknesses. Orville's disability is not treated as part of who he is, not as a crippling cause for devastation and unhappiness. For example: ...Orville had this annoying habit of not saying anything if he didn't think he had anything to say. Nana Wong was always telling Agatha it was an annoying habit she should develop. Written for the same age as the "Goosebumps" series, "Wright and Wong" lacks grossness but has plenty of middle school drama, from a handsome jock to class warfare with the rival school, and a football field that goes up in flames and takes Agatha's dreams of popularity with it. Definitely a great book to recommend for middle schoolers.
