NZ Middle Fiction 8-12-year-olds | Mystery and Detective Stories

There was a loud crack as the handlebars snapped off. Caitlin watched as her mother, with a surprised look on her face, somersaulted through the air like some bizarre circus performer, before landing with a dull thud on her back. The accident that almost killed her mother seals Caitlin’s own destiny. And when she meets a kick-butt reporter and ghost from the past, the drama really begins . . .

Kathleen's review - Caitlin never considered herself to be an activist, nor an investigator - and shied away from anything like that - but she gets inspired by her Aunt Viola life as an investigating journalist and finds herself in a role that changes everything.

I really enjoyed this kiwi novel.
