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.

 Thanks for popping over! We hope that you will stay and visit with us for a while. Below, you will find an overview of the topics that we discuss on Fairday's Blog! They range from riddles, to reviews, to just things that we like to shout out about : )

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.

 The Top of the Heap is a post we put up on Thursdays. We thought it would be fun once a week to put up two things that we appreciate and have been thinking about during the week.

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!


Make time to riddle and rhyme!

    The luckiest thing to ever happen to me... would probably be getting into medicine at the university in my home town. It was everything I'd ever wanted.
    Looking for the Panacea

    Yeah, another great giveaway and its international as well. Good luck everyone.

    I think the luckiest thing that ever happened to me was on having my accident (probably the unluckiest thing to happen) the doctors managed to save my leg when amputation was a real possibility.

    The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was finding my current husband. As a single mother of five children, the prospect of having any kind of relationship, let alone finding a soulmate was pretty slim. The day he walked into my life the light of a new day dawned in mine and my children's lives.

    Great giveaway! The luckiest thing to ever happen to me would have to be meeting my wife. I was bar-tending as a 2nd job and knew it wasn't for me, but she worked in the office and there you have it, that's how we met :)

    The luckiest thing that has ever happened to me? That's a good question. I would say finding the job I have now. It just so happened that they were cutting back my part-time hours at another library job, and then my dad just happened to see an ad about the place I work for now looking for a full-time library assistant. I applied, got an interview, and then got the job. It was a stroke of luck to get this job at the time I did.

    Is there really such a thing as luck? If there is then it would have to be being born.
