Age Range: 7-9 years. Overview. Meet Squishy Taylor: a sharp-eyed, ninja-quick nine-year-old detective who never met a mystery she couldn't crack. This six-book collection follows Squishy as she navigates a bustling apartment block, a patchwork family of new "bonus sisters," and puzzles only she seems able to solve. Bursting with humour, heart and page-turning suspense, these bite-sized chapter books are perfect for confident young readers hunting for their next favourite series.. About the Books. Squishy Taylor lives in a converted warehouse apartment building with her dad, her stepmum and three "bonus sisters" she never asked for but has come to love. Across these six adventures, Squishy puts her detective instincts to work on mysteries big and small: a runaway astronaut on the roof, a suspiciously toxic-smelling tunnel under the park, a vase that vanishes from a locked apartment, chaos on a film set, sibling squabbles over secrets, and a neighbour who might just be a diamond smuggler. Each story is told with warmth, wit and a keen eye for the everyday dramas of family life, blended with genuine whodunit intrigue. Short chapters, punchy dialogue and plenty of illustrations keep the pace brisk, making these books ideal for newly independent readers who want real stakes but not an overwhelming word count. Squishy herself is a brilliantly relatable heroine — brave, nosy, loyal and endlessly curious — and her evolving relationship with her bonus sisters gives the series genuine emotional depth alongside the mystery-solving fun.. Complete run of six Squishy Taylor mystery adventures in one great-value set. Perfect for building reading stamina with confident 7-9 year old readers. Engaging blend of family drama, humour and detective-style mystery. Short chapters and lively illustrations keep reluctant readers hooked. A relatable, spirited heroine that young girls and boys alike will enjoy. Great gift idea for young mystery fans and fans of chapter-book series. About the Author.
