At 12 Mizzy knows she wants to be a detective and that she has outgrown her cousins. She also knows she has a tendency for tall tales, hates escalators and has Down Syndrome. Will any of this get in her way? Absolutely not!

​

With the whole summer ahead of her, her cousins doing their own thing she sets about investigating. Its never too soon to practice detective skills! Discovering her Great Aunt Jane's diaries, which had been locked in a wardrobe in a spare room, she quickly realises something very important....

​

Great Aunt Jane did not die peacefully in her sleep. No she died under mysterious circumstances and it looks as though someone in the family was involved...

​

Lizzie is a fantastic character and I for one hope this is only the first of many mysteries and that we start to see greater representation of nerodivergency in children's books.
