Under Suspicion: A Friday Barnes Mystery [Paperback] Spratt, R A and Gosier, Phil

**Under Suspicion: A Friday Barnes Mystery** throws readers into the delightfully twisted world of Friday Barnes, a brilliant eleven-year-old detective who makes Sherlock Holmes look like an amateur. When suspicious incidents plague her posh boarding school, Friday's razor-sharp intellect and complete lack of social graces make her the perfect (if unwanted) investigator.

R.A. Spratt crafts a mystery that's equal parts brain-teaser and comedy goldmine, exploring themes of friendship, belonging, and what happens when you're too smart for your own good. This children's mystery novel will captivate young readers aged 8-12 who crave adventure, puzzle-solving, and protagonists who don't fit the mold.

Perfect for fans of detective fiction and school stories with bite, this preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks delivers laughs alongside genuine intrigue.
