A Skeleton in the Closet 
by Claire Hatcher-Smith 

Twelve-year-old Mizzy dreams of being a detective and she won't let anything stand in her way — not her reputation for tall tales, or her embarrassing fear of escalators, and definitely not her Down syndrome. Dumped for the summer with cousins who've outgrown her, Mizzy feels even more sidelined than usual.

What's more . . . someone in the family appears to have been involved
