Eleven-year-old Friday Barnes is the youngest (almost self-raised and self-educated) child in a family of Physics professors. Friday, who has mastered the art of going unnoticed, manages to get away with plenty. Such as eating vast quantities of chocolate and reading detective novels. Having devoured every detective novel in her parents’ library, Friday can claim to be an excellent detective herself. This is proved when she wins a $50,000 prize for recovering a stolen diamond. Friday decides to use the money to enrol herself in the best boarding school in the country. Needless to mention, Friday’s detective skills are handly in the new place. Her fellow boarders, who come from wealthy families, are more than willing to part with huge sums of money if Sleuth Friday recovers a missing clock, missing homework, even a supposed lurking Yeti! The money Friday makes by solving these mysteries is enough to pay the tuition fees for the coming year. Added incentives include her budding friendship with Ian Wainscott, the smartest boy in school (now second only to Friday Barnes), late night swamp outings and searching for clues in unlikely places.
