Never Fear
Friday's time at Highcrest is running out!
The new headmaster is turning everything upside down. Friday's irritatingly high IQ has her fast-tracked to graduation, while a pair of incriminating pants puts Ian on the rocky road to expulsion. When a rumor emerges of embezzled gold stashed on the school grounds, Friday is determined to uncover the truth.
But some big questions remain: Can she stay out of detention long enough to solve the mystery? How will Melanie survive without Friday to tell her what class she's in? And will Friday ever get that first kiss with Ian?
With implosions and explosions everywhere, Friday Barnes will have to use her head and get a grip on her beating heart.

When girl detective Friday Barnes solves a bank robbery she uses the reward money to send herself to the most exclusive boarding school in the country, Highcrest Academy. On arrival, Friday is shocked to discover the respectable school is actually a hotbed of crime and it's up to this plucky young sleuth to investigate!
