(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Phil Gosier. Brilliant, quirky Friday has a knack for solving crimes, which comes in handy when she enrolls herself (as the "unexpected" youngest of five, she "largely raised herself") into an elite boarding school that is surprisingly teeming with petty crime. Friday's creative sleuthing and amusingly odd classmates are brought to life by angular black-and-white cartoon illustrations that nicely complement her humor and heart.
