Manners” by Robin Stevens.
“Book Scavenger” is the story of 12-year-old Emily, who moves to San Francisco with her family, where she

secrets before the men who attacked Emily’s hero, publisher Garrison Griswold, solve the mystery or come
after the friends.
“York: The Shadow Cipher” is the story of three kids in an alternate New York City who try to solve a
modern-world puzzle and complete a treasure hunt laid into the streets and buildings of New York City
before their building is demolished and the clues it contains are lost forever.
“Murder is Bad Manners” is the story of crime-solving friends Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells at an English
boarding school in the 1930s, who struggle to find an exciting mystery to investigate until Hazel
discovers the dead body of Miss Bell, the science teacher.
