There’s a new crime fighter in town. She’s smart. She’s
fearless. She’s thirteen-years-old and determined to be the
world’s greatest detective. Enter the brave world of Celia J., as
she uses the skills learned at a CSI summer camp program to
investigate an attempt to defraud her father. Following the tragic
loss of her mother, Celia’s father enrolls her in the classes to
ease her grief and to keep her in a safe environment. Celia excels
at the investigative lessons earning her the respect of both her
classmates and Detective Lieutenant Beth. Celia sees Beth as her
new heroine and, hopefully, a suitable companion for her
father. But, a devious woman with long blonde hair already
has her sights on Celia’s dad —especially his money. Aided by
her accomplice, a scary tattooed man, the woman proposes a phony
investment scheme. When Celia suspects something is wrong and
launches her investigation and surveillance, she is trapped in a
dangerous predicament far from home and help. Miss Demeanor is an
exciting character-driven middle-grade mystery, filled with a
compelling cast of heroes and villains, a clever plot, crime scene
investigative tools, suspense, humor, and a heart-warming
backstory. A page-turner for both young and adult. It draws the
reader deep into the narrative as though it took place in their
hometown; much like Alan Bradley’s juvenile sleuth, Flavia de
Luce involves her English village. Created by Ed N. White, Miss
Demeanor offers young readers a character they can identify with
and enjoy. Celia J. is not without a few minor flaws, which
enhances her appeal as a real person. The crime scene investigative
techniques are detailed at a level of understanding for the
middle-grade reader. Life lessons are learned. The emotions
of the grieving father and daughter are shared, and the backstory
of Celia’s dad and Detective Beth offers hope.
