With a mysterious artist and a zealous PE teacher stirring trouble, Friday must navigate a dangerous term. Can she mend her friendship, balance school life, and solve the vandalism mystery?
From the publisher
Friday Barnes is being attacked on all fronts! When she gets involved in her frenemy Ian Wainscott’s family dispute, it appears her knack for uncovering the truth may ruin their friendship. Meanwhile, there’s two new teachers–a celebrity artist whose intentions are somewhat unclear, and an over-enthusiastic PE teacher on a fitness crusade. No one said high school would be easy!
