Kevin is best friends with a girl named Ginny and because of this friendship finds himself being bullied by one of his classmates, Daniel and his buddies. Kevin doesn't really care too much what the other boys think of his friendship with Ginny.
As a kid, I was totally hooked on The Three Investigators mysteries, and that has left me with a life-long love for books about young mystery solvers.
