No one is better at solving mysteries than Squishy Taylor ... which is lucky because she keeps running right into them!

Sita ‘Squishy’ Taylor is a cheeky, sneaky 11-year-old who lives with her dad and step-family in a very crowded apartment. Luckily for Squishy, their building is huge – and there's always plenty of mysteries to investigate!

In Squishy Taylor and the Bonus Sisters, someone is hiding out in Squishy’s building and her neighbour is acting like the crankiest man in the world! The only person who can put all the pieces together is Squishy – which would be MUCH easier if she didn’t have to share all her secrets with her stepsisters.

Australian superstar Squishy Taylor is a curious, likeable and instantly relatable hero for ALL kids aged 6 and up. She’s part of a blended family – a new kind of normal for so many kids, whether it’s a Modern Family or more of a Brady Bunch. Between nightly Skype-chats with her mum, dealing with a noisy baby or her two new ‘bonus sisters’, there’s always a new challenge or exciting mystery to solve. Squishy Taylor and the Bonus Sisters (#1) was listed as a CBCA Notable Book and was shortlisted for the Readings Children’s Book Prize.

Perfect for:

Independent readers aged 6+ seeking engaging and exciting real-life stories

Parents, teachers, and librarians seeking well-rounded and modern female protagonists.

Fans of bestselling series such as Billie B Brown, Willa and Woof and Stella & Marigold.
