Hannah West is not your average sixth grader. Ever since her mom got laid off and started house-sitting, Hannah has been living all over Seattle--and solving mysteries along the way! With her trusty sketchbook and doggy pals in tow, Hannah is always ready for adventure. So when she and her mom move into a swanky high-rise where a valuable piece of art has just been stolen, Hannah immediately gets in the "frame" of mind for sleuthing to track down the art thief. Then it's lights...cameras...and lots of action after Hannah and her mom move into a houseboat. Not only is the crew for a TV show taking over the dock but dead fish are also washing up nearby. Once Hannah and her best friend, Lily, become extras on the show, Hannah is on the set--and on the case!

Hannah West: Sleuth in Training is a compilation of two previously published volumes, Hannah West in the Belltown Towers and Hannah West in Deep Water.
