It is a really good book about a girl called Friday Barnes. She was called Friday because her parents thought she was born on a Friday but she was actually born on Thursday. Her uncle, Uncle Bernie works for a police thing and he gets a case about a stolen diamond. She solves it and gets a reward of 50,000 dollars. She then decides to use the money to send herself to the most exclusive boarding school in the country, Highcrest academy. When she gets there she meets a boy named Ian Wainscott, who hates Friday and loves Pranks. Not only that Friday has to solve many mystery’s at Highcrest Academy, including one on a swamp yeti. So far it is a really good book. I would recommend it for ages 10+ because of some of the words wouldn’t be understood by any age lower.

Imagine if Sherlock Holmes was an eleven-year-old girl!
When Friday Barnes, girl genius, solves a bank robbery, she uses the reward money to send herself to Highcrest Academy, the most exclusive boarding school in the country―and discovers it's a hotbed of crime!
Soon she's investigating everything from disappearing homework to the terrifying Yeti haunting the school swamp. But the biggest mystery yet is Ian Wainscott, the handsomest (and most arrogant) boy in school who inexplicably hates her. Will the homework be found? Can they ever track down the Yeti? And why is Ian out to ruin her?
With black-and-white art throughout, Friday Barnes, Girl Detective is the launch of an exciting new mystery series that "will keep readers laughing from start to finish." (Publishers Weekly)
