Bookroo's summary

At Highcrest Academy's anniversary, chaos ensues as four mischievous former headmasters stir trouble. Young detective Friday Barnes faces a tangled web: a paleo diet revolt, a friend's brother haunted by a boat accident, and a mysterious admirer—or stalker—on her trail. Can Friday untangle the truth amidst the mayhem and restore order before the celebrations end in disaster?

From the publisher

When four former headmasters arrive at Highcrest Academy to take part in the school’s anniversary celebrations, the students are warned to be on their best behavior. Unfortunately, no one told the headmasters to stay out of mischief too! Which means Friday Barnes soon has a case to solve. But unraveling the truth isn’t easy when the whole school is being forced to eat paleo because the cook is on a diet; her best friend’s brother won’t stop blubbering about the terrible boat accident he may or may not have caused; and Friday is being trailed by a mysterious admirer–or is it a stalker? Can Friday find the facts among the mayhem?
