(Jacqueline Pye, May 7, 2012)
Millie is a schoolgirl detective. She has recently started at secondary school, though her brother Dave and his friend Joe are still in the juniors. She enjoys a good mystery and likes to solve other people's problems, skilfully watching, waiting and listening until the mist clears and she can work out the solution. Boris, the family dog, is usually around, too. He loves his biscuits, but also sometimes enjoys getting involved with Millie's detective work. In this first book, Dave has been bullied out of his brand new trainers and is scared to tell anyone until Millie persuades him to explain. Through a chance find, Joe hatches a clever plan to replace Dave's trainers and teach the bully a lesson at the same time. But it all goes wrong when there's a theft and the police become involved. Can Millie find out the truth, sort out the bullying, and get Dave out of trouble?
