"Spratt is a master at bringing characters to life, and knowing just what older primary and early high school kids want to read."
Susan Stephenson, The Book Chook
"Spratt’s effortlessly funny narration will keep readers laughing from start to finish, and she gives Friday a wonderfully dry wit—one she isn’t even aware of herself—to accompany her exceptional deductive powers and knowledge."
