Getting arrested was the last thing Friday expected after solving the swamp-yeti mystery at her boarding school. But she better clear her name fast! She’s got new cases to investigate, like a scandalous quiche bake-off, a decades old mystery buried in her school’s backyard, and why the new boy, Christopher, is being so nice to her.
Loved the concept but not so much the actual story. A very niche target audience for this one perhaps: teenagers with enough of an understanding of Hamlet to get into it?
I read this book because my 9-year-old son told me I should. I can see why he thought it was funny, but it didn't do much for me. All of the mischief was just too EASY (how many times in one book can it really seem like great fun to eat huge quantities of cake and candy instead of meals?) and not especially exciting or imaginative. As a mom, I cringed at some of the ideals Nanny Piggins espoused, but of course this is what makes it so silly for some kids.
