Magnolia Wu's parents own and operate a laundry in NYC. They are extremely busy, so Magnolia is often lonely, at least until she meets Iris. Iris recently moved to NYC from California. She's not happy about the move because she thinks New York is too busy, noisy, and dirty.
The girls hit it off, and when someone comes into the laundry and makes fun of Magnolia's Lost Sock display, Iris makes a suggestion that turns them into a creative, adventurous team. They decide to become detectives and solve the mystery of each missing sock by reuniting them with their owners.
This turns out to be challenging but great fun. They also learn about the challenges of what it takes to be a good friend.
This middle grade novel by Chanel Miller is a quick read filled with family, friends, and what it's like being new.
