“Death on the Sidewalk is geared towards older reluctant readers, from teen to adult. At just over a hundred pages and with one illustration per chapter, the book is a significant but manageable challenge for a struggling reader, and the story is packed with cliffhangers that will keep virtually anyone reading.” – Goodreads
