Clue meets The Baby-Sitters Club in this heartwarming middle grade graphic novel perfect for fans of Kayla Miller and Terri Libenson. Amy has always loved a good mystery. So when her classmate Reagan invites her to a murder-mystery-themed birthday party, she   should  be ecstatic. But…she’s not. Instead, she’s worried that her social anxiety will mess everything up. Thankfully, all the guests are given characters to play for the night, so Amy doesn’t have to go to Reagan’s party as herself—she’ll go as “Millie Morgan,” a scientist looking to solve the murder and clear her name. With newfound confidence as Millie, she must work with the other partygoers to solve the crime. But when evidence piles up and clues begin to incriminate her alter ego, Amy’s anxiety comes rushing back. With the help of her new friends, Amy must learn to navigate her own anxiety as Millie works to solve the mystery and prove her innocence. Both an enticing mystery and a satisfying emotional journey.  - Kirkus Reviews Full of nerves and heart, Evans and Bell's bright, inviting comic successfully encapsulates the complexities of being an anxious tween. Full-color spreads transition to shades of grey every time Amy enters a self-doubt cycle filled with negative self-talk, but the heavy emotions are balanced by bright, bubbly characters. - Booklist Karina Evans is the author of Grow Up, Tahlia Wilkins! and Audrey Covington Breaks the Rules .
