Young cartoonist Hannah Sharpe has many strengths: she’s curious, creative, has an amazing memory, and most important — she notices things. When Doug Williams moves into her family’s Airbnb, Hannah can’t shake the feeling that he’s got something to hide. But his girlfriend, Remy Furtado, couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. As Hannah investigates, often with her sketchbook in hand, she makes a series of unsettling discoveries involving stolen packages, changed keypad codes, and hidden stacks of cash. Can Hannah crack the case and unfold the mystery on her own?

Including full-color illustrations with panel art featuring Hannah and her cartoon alter ego, Dusty Pickle, here is a thoughtful and propulsive story starring a neurodiverse protagonist.

Janet Tashjian is the author of the My Life series, illustrated by her son, Jake Tashjian.

Their new book, Hannah Sharpe, Cartoon Detective, is an illustrated mystery adventure about a young cartoonist on the autism spectrum and her cartoon alter ego. Janet and Jake enjoy collaborating and representing neurodiverse characters with authenticity.
