Pinky Bloom, Brooklyn's greatest kid detective, takes on a new case just in time for Hanukkah. When an extremely valuable ancient Israeli coin is stolen from her synagogue, Pinky sets out to find the thief. But other strange events keep distracting her. Could they be connected to the supposedly magical menorah that her neighbor has left in her family's care? Only Pinky can get to the bottom of this―with a little help from her annoying little brother.

Pinky Bloom and the Case of the Magical Menorah is part of an early middle grade series about a Jewish Brooklynite girl named Pinky (short for Penina) who solves crimes with the help of her annoying little brother Avi. This series is a good example of this genre. The story is fun and easy to follow. It would definitely be enjoyed by 6 - 8 year olds who enjoy mystery series such as A to Z Mysteries, Cam Jensen mysteries, or Ballpark Mysteries.

A total kids book, but I enjoyed the mystery and the writing. Well done! Sometimes stories written for children are the best.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very fast paced, and I didn't get bored at all. It was a really good book, and I gave it four stars! Can't wait to continue Pinky Bloom's cases!
