A mysterious brass key. A forgotten cupboard. A photograph that should still be there.
Nine-year-old Maya Rosen notices things.
So when an old brass key marked 18 appears beneath Grandma Rosen's chair during Friday dinner, Maya knows there has to be a story behind it.
Together with logical Noah, confident Ruby and Pickle - Ruby's enthusiastic but not always helpful rescue dog - Maya follows the clues from an old family photograph to the former Willow Street Jewish Community Hall and a forgotten basement cupboard.
But when Cupboard 18 is opened, one photograph is missing.
Maya thinks she knows who took it.
There is only one problem: good detectives need evidence, not guesses.
Warm, funny and packed with clues, THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUE is the first book in THE WILLOW STREET DETECTIVES, a contemporary British mystery series about friendship, family, Jewish life and learning to look closer.
Perfect for independent readers aged 7-9 who enjoy gentle mysteries, recurring characters and satisfying clues.
