It's summer holiday and Minty is looking forward to spending time with her best friend, Paz. The two of them have loved roller derby for many years and Minty wants to spend lots of time practicing. Unfortunately, Paz seems to be growing distant from Minty and is hanging out with some older girls. When Minty notices that someone is sneaking up on people and taking their photos and that small items are going missing, she tries to find out who is doing these things. She ends up striking up an unlikely friendship with a boy who lives near the Witch's house. Minty spends her summer trying to solve neighbourhood mysteries and secrets with this boy all while trying to hold onto her friendship with Paz. This is an interesting story about friendship, growing up, and community. I recommend this book to fans of realistic fiction.
