Official synopsis Publisher
No Rules, the fourth book of the hilarious Friday Barnes Mystery series—written by R. A. Spratt and with illustrations by Phil Gosier—brings even more trouble for this genius girl detective.
Friday Barnes has been deported to Switzerland . . . but we need her back!
With their go-to detective gone, Highcrest Academy has descended into chaos. Someone’s fired all the teachers as an epic prank, and suspicion falls on Ian Wainscott, Friday’s nemesis (who’s also desperately in love with her). There’s also the problem of the new vice principal and his questionable behavior. It’s hard to take someone seriously when he’s wearing tie-dyed shirts, right?
Can Friday prove Ian’s innocence, find the prankster, and save her school? If it involves running, then probably no, but if not . . . Friday’s on the case!
Praise for the Friday Barnes Mysteries:

“Spratt continues to hit just the right mix of dry humor and suspense. Her characterization of her protagonist shines . . .

A cliffhanger ending will have readers drumming their fingers as they wait for the next episode.” —Kirkus Reviews on Under Suspicion
