Imagine if Sherlock Holmes was an eleven-year-old girl!

When girl detective Friday Barnes solves a bank robbery she uses the reward money to send herself to the most exclusive boarding school in the country, Highcrest Academy.

On arrival, Friday is shocked to discover the respectable school is actually a hotbed of crime. She's soon investigating everything from disappearing homework to the Yeti running around the school swamp. That's when she's not dealing with her own problem - Ian Wainscott, the handsomest boy in school, who inexplicably hates Friday and loves nasty pranks.

Can Friday solve Highcrest Academy's many strange mysteries, including the biggest mystery of all - what's the point of high school? Action & Adventure Detective Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Mystery Mystery & Suspense

Dear R.A sprat,
I think this book is outstanding and after listing to it I bought the whole series to read. I adored all of them.
You use great details. Maybe you could make some more audio books of the second and third. You are my favourite author.

My 9 and 5 year olds love these stories and we search out everything RA Spratt all the time. Great adventures, great humour, fantastic vocabulary. The author narrates herself so you are getting the full experience. She can read a little fast, so we tend to listen on 0.8 speed which solves that problem, so no faults to find. Looking forward to the next installment.

Best stories ever, great for all the family

This is my daughter’s favourite series. I’m so glad more of it is FINALLY being released to audiobooks. They’re her preferred way to consume books and she really identifies with Friday in so many ways so this is fantastic!

Can’t wait for the rest of the series to become audiobooks!
