A hilarious junior fiction book series from Ailsa Wild about solving mysteries, blending families and leaping to conclusions!

Sita`Squishy' Taylor is a cheeky, sneaky 11-year-old who lives with her dad and step-family in a very crowded apartment. Luckily for Squishy, their building is huge - and there's always plenty of mysteries to investigate! Like...

  1. Why is the mayor being so SNEAKY?
  2. How do you make someone look fake-sick?
  3. How many dumplings are too many dumplings?
  4. What is the Boss of the World doing at Jessie's violin concert?

Australian superstar Squishy Taylor is a curious, likeable and instantly relatable hero for ALL kids aged 6 and up.

She's part of a blended family - a new kind of normal for so many kids, whether it's a Modern Family or more of a Brady Bunch. Between nightly Skype-chats with her mum, dealing with a noisy baby or her two new `bonus sisters', there's always a new challenge or exciting mystery to solve.
