Copyright 2024 School Library Journal.Gr 5 Upâ In a postapocalyptic future, Bingo works as a scrapper, finding various trinkets and occasionally books, her favorite. She works closely with her friend Fenn, a well-liked and respected person in their town of Ellay. When Fenn goes missing, Bingo must rely on the knowledge found in old "tectiv" stories, where the hero solves crimes in a trench coat and hat. Though no crime has happened in over 2,000 years, Bingo will not let this one go unsolved.Tectiv is a wonderful introduction to noir for younger readers. Not only does it show the relentlessness of a gumshoe, but it also pokes fun at the conventions of noir fiction, like the past tense inner monologue often found in classic crime fiction. With the setting, the books also explore environmental issues, utopian concerns, and the dangers and delights of robotics. Bingo is an inquisitive protagonist who will carry readers into subsequent volumes.VERDICT With the heart of a noir thriller,Tectiv will solve the mystery of what young people want to read: a story that shows the power of determination.
