Overview
Break-ins, vandalism, fires — everyone blames a homeless man they call "the Bear." Everyone except 11-year-old detective Fina Mendoza. Solving this mystery will take bravery she didn't know she had. This is Book 4 of the INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARD WINNING Spanish-language series, Los Misterios de Fina Mendoza. Fina and her sister Gabby return to Los Angeles for the summer and reunite with their Mexican American family while Papa, a congressman, campaigns for reelection there. But something feels off in their old neighborhood. After a brush fire ignites during July 4th fireworks, neighbors point the finger at the Bear, a scary-looking man living in an old RV. Fina investigates and discovers he is a military veteran and artist. But is he also the vandal? This heartwarming whodunit is about family, belonging, challenging stereotypes, and the power of one brave Latina girl to find a "home" for everyone.
