Description

Twelve-year-old Maxwell Parker is all about what's going on behind quiet exteriors-a trait that comes in handy in her quiet suburban neighborhood where everyone seems to have something to hide. Exhibit A: Mrs. Cook-the nice elderly widow who just moved in across the street-seems like any other cookie-baking grandmother, but Maxwell knows things aren't always what they seem.Even though Kenneth Newman (her best friend since kindergarten) is on board to help investigate their mysterious new neighbor, Maxwell realizes times are changing. They've started junior high, and Maxwell doesn't just feel like a little fish in a big pond; she feels like a Little Mermaid in a sea of teenage girls. When the clique of popular girls sets its sights on Kenneth, Maxwell decides to take matters into her own hands before the would-be supermodels steal her best friend right under her crime-sniffing nose!Then popular girl Veronica offers Maxwell friendship at a price, and Maxwell must decide if she's willing to pay what it will cost to fit in. If she ends up on the nightly news in the meantime...well, it's all in a day's work!
