The Secret Files of Fairday Morrow
ByPublisher Description
Fans of classic detective stories, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and the Secret Series will devour this illustrated middle-grade adventure that follows three curious sleuths as they investigate a mysterious, old house with some hidden secrets.
Eleven-year-old Fairday Morrow is less than thrilled that her family is moving thousands of miles from civilization to the quiet country town of Ashpot, Connecticut, where she’s absolutely certain she’ll die of boredom.
As if leaving New York City and her best friend, Lizzy, the only other member of the elite Detective Mystery Squad (DMS), weren’t bad enough, Fairday is stuck living in the infamous Begonia House, a creepy old Victorian with dark passageways, a gigantic dead willow tree, and a mysterious past.
Before she can even unpack, strange music coming from behind a padlocked door leads Fairday up a spiral staircase and into a secret room, where an ancient mirror, a brass key, and a strange picture of a red-haired lady are the first in a series of clues that takes the members of the Detective Mystery Squad on an amazing adventure.
"The novel builds to an exciting climax that takes magic in stride and suggests that further mysteries await the DMS trio."-Publishers Weekly
"This paranormal mystery will be of interest to young readers looking for something spooky but not violent or scary."-Booklist

“I got this book in a goodreads giveaway for my honest opinion. so here it goes:
At first, I (regrettably) judged this book for being middlegrade and thought i'd catch up to the mystery in no time, making the rest dull BUT i couldn't be more wrong!
The first few chapters were enticing but no sooner than Margo went into -You know what- that i was hooked; my mind was buzzing the whole time with possible outcomes to the story and i was guessing left and right!
It was such and intriguing book; a tad bit spooky and downright awesome; the plot was creative, the characters were vibrant and it was so fun to read from Fairday's POV.
It was a short but amazing read and i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking something light and fun ♥”
