Finding Mighty

Written by Sheela Chari

Narrated by Preston Butler III, Soneela Nankani and James Shippy

Two kids, living along the same train line north of New York City, connected in ways they do not yet understand …

Myla feels overlooked and invisible. But she thinks her luck will change after she finds a beautiful necklace at a street fair. It’s perfect for the first day of middle school. Only that’s exactly when her troubles begin.

Peter wishes his brother, Randall, would hang out with him instead of with his spray-painting crew. Then one day Randall paints a strange tag that he finds in a book left by their father, who was killed in a mysterious fall. And Randall disappears.

When Myla meets Peter, she gets pulled into his mission to find his brother. It turns out her necklace is an important clue—and that dangerous people are after it, and after Randall, too. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. Thrown
into a world of parkour moves, graffiti, and missing diamonds, Myla and Peter must race to find Randall … and uncover a family secret before another deadly fall.

Reviews for Finding Mighty

[salsabrarian · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This multifaceted mystery has plenty to offer. There's the big-city vibe of New York, parkour, and graffiti tagging; the lure of illicit doings at night; a search for missing diamonds. The local history of the aqueduct even weaves itself into the mystery. And the background stories of the main characters adds dimension: Myla who never gets noticed decides to delve into the mystery of the diamonds, and the tension between brothers Peter and Randall whose father died under mysterious circumstances. Young readers will identify with regular kids Myla and Peter and the pace will keep the pages turning.
