When she goes to her aunt and uncle’s house for the summer, the finds out that her Great Aunt Jane has died in what she thinks are mysterious circumstances and now she wants to try and prove herself to her family so that she can become a detective and solve the mystery. My favourite character in this book is Oli because at first he was mean and arrogant but as I read on he became a completely different person. I thought he was very inspiring because no matter how mean or rude someone is they can always have a change of heart. I give this book a five out of five.”

“Family secrets never stay hidden….. There has been a murder in Mizzy’s family and she will be the one to figure it out. This is an incredibly funny story about a child with Down Syndrome called Mizzy, who finds and pieces together evidence about how murdered Aunt Jane. I think this book is suitable for ages 8 – 13. Unlike most mystery books this one kept the tension all the way through; from twists and turns to tremendous emotion. In my opinion Mizzy truly is marvellous.”

“This is about a girl called Mizzy who is staying with her cousins for the summer. She loves solving mysteries but she can’t find a proper one no matter what she does – then one falls right in her lap. Mizzy has Down Syndrome but she doesn’t let that be her personality. In the book she thinks everyone treats her like a baby but she knows she is not. I give this book 4 and a half stars.”
