Meet Mizzy, a bold, brilliant, and unforgettable new detective in this heartwarming and clever murder-mystery for readers aged 8β12. In this standout debut from Claire Hatcher-Smith, Mizzy proves that curiosity, courage, and determination matter far more than what anyone expects of you.
Twelve-year-old Mizzy dreams of becoming a detective. Sheβs imaginative, persistent, terrified of escalatorsβand proudly herself, including having Down syndrome. When sheβs sent to spend the summer with cousins whoβve clearly outgrown her, Mizzy feels more invisible than ever. But everything changes when she stumbles upon Great Aunt Janeβs secret diaries, hidden in a locked wardrobe. What if her aunt didnβt die peacefully after all? And what if someone in the family knows more than theyβre saying?
Disguising her investigation as a school family-tree project and armed with her beloved Pipsqueak markers, Mizzy launches her own inquiryβdetermined to uncover the truth and finally prove herself.
Warm, witty, and full of heart, A Skeleton in the Closet is a gripping mystery and a joyful celebration of inclusivity, resilience, and believing in yourself. Perfect for fans of Robin Stevens and Sharna Jackson.
