INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Spratt, R. A.

Friday Barnes, Under Suspicion

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Phil Gosier. Super sleuth Friday (Friday Barnes, Girl Detective), still a misfit at fancy Highcrest Academy, is framed for a crime and solves increasingly bizarre ones while balancing her love/hate relationship with frenemy Ian. Comical, angular sketches of the spoiled students and ridiculous headmaster continue to be a main strength of the eccentric series. An intriguing cliffhanger ending sets up the next installment.
