About the book
In this modern take on Harriet the Spy, twelve-year-old Drew uses her true crime expertise to catch the cyberbully in her school—only to discover that family, friendship, and identity are the hardest mysteries to solve.
Drew Leclair knows what it takes to be a great detective. She’s pored over the cases solved by her hero, criminal profiler Lita Miyamoto. She tracked down the graffiti artist at school, and even solved the mystery of her neighbor’s missing rabbit. But when her mother runs off to Hawaii with the school guidance counselor, Drew is shocked. How did she miss all of the clues?
Drew is determined to keep her family life a secret, even from her best friend. But when a cyberbully starts posting embarrassing rumors about other students at school, it’s only a matter of time before Drew’s secret is out.
Armed with her notebooks full of observations about her classmates, Drew knows what she has to do: profile all of the bullies in her grade to find the culprit. But being a detective is more complicated when the suspects can be your friends. Will Drew crack the case if it means losing the people she cares about most?
- True Crime for Kids: Drew uses the techniques of her criminal profiler hero to track clues and build a case, armed with nothing but her trusty notebooks full of observations.
- Cyberbullying Mystery: When a secret troll named Ella Baker Shade starts posting humiliating secrets on social media, Drew realizes she might be the next target.
- Complex Family Secrets: Drew is reeling from the biggest mystery of all: why her mom ran off to Hawaii with the school guidance counselor, and how she missed all the signs.
- Unlikely Friendships: The case gets complicated when Drew realizes the culprit might be one of her own classmates. To solve the mystery, she’ll have to team up with new allies and figure out who she can really trust.
