No one is better at solving mysteries than Squishy Taylor ... which is lucky because she keeps running right into them! 
 
Sita ‘Squishy’ Taylor is a cheeky, sneaky 11-year-old who lives with her dad and step-family in a very crowded apartment. Luckily for Squishy, their building is huge – and there's always plenty of mysteries to investigate! 
 
In Squishy Taylor and a Question of Trust, the most boring neighbour in the world suddenly starts being SUPER-interesting, and there’s evidence of diamond smugglers everywhere! The only person who can put all the pieces together is Squishy – which would be MUCH easier if only the police would trust her.

She’s part of a blended family – a new kind of normal for so many kids, whether it’s a Modern Family or more of a Brady Bunch.
