The Case of the Lighthouse Intruder
by Kereen Getten & Leah Jacobs-Gordon (illustrator)
Fayson spends as much time as possible reading detective stories and daydreaming about being a special agent. Then when she visits her cousins on an island off Jamaica during the holidays, she gets the chance to solve a real mystery. This is the first volume in a series called Di Island Crew Investigates, with a lively group of young detectives. Not too scary and with large font, this novel is a gentle introduction to mysteries for young readers.
