The Mean Girl Who Never Speaks (Detective Mya Dove)

When Mya Dove found mysteries to solve, they were too easy. Seeking a real challenge, she joined the top-secret Children’s Police Force. They offered her exciting cases with five-day deadlines. Mya couldn’t wait to start!

Her first investigation is into Libby Smith, the new girl at school. Libby won’t speak, smile or play with anyone. That’s why the Children’s Police Force thinks she’s mean. But they can’t tell anyone that. Not without real proof.

Finding proof is Mya’s job, but it won’t be easy. Libby isn’t just mean. She’s sneaky, too. When Mya questions her, Libby fake cries for sympathy. It works, so now she has a teacher on her side. Who will Libby trick next? Mya won’t wait to find out. She must prove Libby is mean and warn everyone. Can she stop Libby before it’s too late? Or will this mean girl take over the school?
