A mysterious figure on an old fishing boat, anonymous postcards, disappearing cousins – Mizzy is thrilled to have a new mystery to solve! The next instalment in this charming series for middle-grade readers, starring a girl with Down syndrome. ‘A unique and delightful heroine’ — Guardian

Spending half-term with cousins in St Jude’s-on-Sea, Mizzy sees a spooky shadow on a wrecked old fishing boat on the shore and thinks she’s found her next mystery. But her cousins seem determined to keep her in the dark about their comings and goings to the wreck, and she’s left alone to help their old Greek-Cypriot grandfather Papou sort out his papers.

Then an anonymous postcard arrives for Papou, featuring a picture of the old wreck and the words WHAT REALLY HAPPENS? Mizzy must solve the mystery of the postcard sender and prove once again that she is the best detective in town!

Claire has worked with children for thirty years and never met a kid she didn’t like (even the sticky ones). She believes every child has the right to be seen and heard, even if, especially when, it makes other people uncomfortable.

Originally from the UK, Claire now lives surrounded by sea on Vancouver Island, with her partner, their son and a Korean rescue dog.
