Mizzy is spending half-term with cousins in St Jude’s-on-Sea: a seaside town struggling to accommodate an influx of refugees. When she sees a spooky shadow on a wrecked old fishing boat on the shore, she thinks she’s found her next mystery. But her cousins seem determined to keep her in the dark about their comings and goings to the wreck, and she’s left alone to help their old Greek-Cypriot grandfather Papou sort out his papers.
Then an anonymous postcard arrives for Papou, featuring a picture of the old wreck and the words WHAT REALLY HAPPENS? Mizzy must solve the mystery of the postcard sender and prove once again that she is the best detective in town.

Critic reviews
"Mizzy’s desire to be seen as more than her Down syndrome is sympathetic, and readers will enjoy her straightforward, occasionally witty, narration and appreciate her realization that people aren’t always what they seem. . . . Nuanced and heartwarming." —Kirkus Reviews
"Hatcher-Smith crafts a warm, engaging story that balances a light mystery with an authentic exploration of adolescence. . . . A charming and accessible read[.]" —School Library Journal
