Although I’m not the biggest mystery buff (I never know who did it), I think this was a solid mystery. I enjoyed the way this story plays out, especially the mystery elements with Mia’s grandmother’s farm. As Mia gets into day camp and begins making new friends, readers start to realize that there might be more behind Mia’s decision to quit gymnastics. Mia and her new friends find themselves caught up with solving the mystery of her grandma’s farm debacles while trying to develop business strategies to promote the farm and cricket demand. In fact, she’s started a cricket farm! The only issue is that Mia’s grandmother is convinced that someone is trying to sabotage the farm - and there’s some evidence to back up her claims because weird disruptive things keep happening. Mia’s grandmother for one, doesn’t seem to need any care. However, both Mia and her parents are in for a shock when they reach Vermont. Since then, she’s packed up everything related to the sport she once loved, deciding to call it quits. Before the move, Mia broke her arm falling off a balance beam in gymnastics. Mia and her parents have moved to Vermont the summer after seventh grade to help look after her grandma.
