Under Suspicion: Friday Barnes Mysteries

"A must-have series for middle-grade readers." -Booklist

Friday Barnes, girl detective, is... under arrest?!

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.

More adventures and intrigue ensue in Under Suspicion: A Friday Barnes Mystery, the second book in the illustrated Friday Barnes mystery series, starring a genius detective with the brains (and social skills) of Sherlock Holmes.

Praise for Under Suspicion: A Friday Barnes Mystery:

"Spratt continues to hit just the right mix of dry humor and suspense. Her characterization of her protagonist shines . . . Readers know that, like Sherlock Holmes, Friday will solve every mystery; the book's fun is in seeing how she does it . . . A cliffhanger ending will have readers drumming their fingers as they wait for the next episode." -Kirkus Reviews

"[For] readers who like humor but also want more intelligent characters and jokes, as well as those who like quirky mysteries." -Booklist

"This second book in the Friday Barnes series is even funnier and quirkier than its predecessor." -School Library Journal
