 The Begonia House keeps its secrets. Everyone knows that. Everyone, that is, except for clever eleven-year-old Fairday Morrow, whose family has just moved in. Being the Senior Investigator in the Detective Mystery Squad, more commonly known as the DMS, she’s ready to uncover the mysteries hidden within the strange manor. As the investigation gears up and the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, the DMS enters into a world where anything is possible, and the danger is most definitely real. Follow along with Fairday and her friends, as spooky meets lovely in this twisting tale of dark secrets and hidden pasts... read the reviews! 


What Fairday's Blog! is all about...


Fairday's Riddles are posted on Mondays- they can be written about anything and everything, all at the same time!

 Lizzy's Book Reviews are posted on Wednesdays. Lizzy has read just about every middle grade novel out there, and she loves to share her thoughts and, of course, her opinions.

Author Interviews are posted on Fridays. The DMS seeks out the best middle grade authors today and brings them here to chat about their stories. 

 Margo's Musings Fridays are sometimes shared with Margo, Fairday's little sister. This post focuses on reviewing children's book authors, which we follow up with an Author Interview.

 The DMS Wants to Know was a post we came up with for Saturdays because when we get together to hang out on the weekend, we always chat about different situations and ideas that are floating around in our brains and we like to listen to what other people think about them- some of the comments we've gotten have been absolutely fascinating!

    What scares me the most? It's a toss up between thunder, spiders, snakes and man eating zombies. Probably man eating zombies. :D

    Ghosts scare me the most!! I will not watch or read any books that have haunting's in them. I have nightmares all night if I do. So I just stay away from that type of story.

    What scares me the most? Rats. When I was eight / nine my brother found a dead rat and he thought that it would be "fun" to show me the rat. I don't think I've ever screamed so hard.

    What scares me the most? Going down. Falling. Making mistakes. Embarrassing myself. That's why I don't like Roller Coasters - The falling. I like going up, but not down. And the suspenseful "clik-clik-clik-clik-clik" doesn't help. :)

    What scares me the most is something bad happening to my loved ones. I also don't like being alone in a big house and hearing strange noises.

    As far as fiction/non-fiction, stories about sociopaths scare me.

    Since that giant spider on another post almost sent me screaming, I'll say that spiders are one of the things that scares me most. Although roaches probably beat them out. Just not a fan of insects in general. :-)
