Getting arrested was the last thing Friday expected after solving the swamp-yeti mystery at her boarding school. But she better clear her name fast! She’s got new cases to investigate, like a scandalous quiche bake-off, a decades old mystery buried in her school’s backyard, and why the new boy, Christopher, is being so nice to her.
If you like Encyclopedia Brown, or are looking for a female version of him, Friday Barnes is your girl! Her ability to solve mysteries has the reader looking for clues throughout the entire story. The vocabulary introduced in the book is sure to enhance young readers' comprehension of the book and new words. Can't wait to share with my students!
Friday Barnes returns as inimitable as ever. She solves a series of small mysteries most of which have a link to the big mystery of holes appearing all over the boarding school grounds. Fun.
