Phil Gosier. Friday Barnes: Under
Suspicion. Pgs. 280. Roaring Brook Press, 2017. $13.99. Lanuage: G,
Mature Content: G, Violence: G
Friday has her hands full with her latest cases. First, she’s
accused of terrorism. Then, she has to solve a case regarding a bake-off and a
home economics class. To top it off, a case involving a stolen necklace and an
escaped maximum security prisoner plague her cases as well. Will she solve her
cases or she in above her head?
Similar to Encyclopedia Brown and Sherlock Holmes, Friday is
a genius detective with spunk. She’s an engaging, entertaining character that
is well developed and likable. Although some of the secondary adult characters
seem like bumbling characters, the engaging plot helps make up for that. Fans
of mystery, detective stories, and realistic fiction will enjoy reading this
book.
