Description

Riz sometimes notices weird stuff. She can pick the twins apart, notices when people grow, and challenges the lunch staff when they change the cheese brand. Most people think it is odd, so she keeps her observations to herself.


But when Riz notices something different about her mum’s cash, she speaks up only to get questioned by the police!


With her observations and a little help from some tech-savvy friends Riz leads the counterfeit bust. But can her team follow the right clues, or will it land them all in trouble?

Review

Those with a curious mind and an eye for detail will love this new series!


Riz is a girl, who in her own words, notices weird stuff. She even keeps a Weird Stuff log that she records all her observations in. So when she is at the shops with her Mum and she notices that the money they are handing over doesn’t feel quite right, the fun begins!


The Police investigate but they are suspicious of Riz, and how she came to notice that there might be fake notes in circulation, so she decides that she will investigate herself.


She gathers her friends Sabina, Jenny, Lachie A and Lochie C, and together they come up with a plan to try and trace where the fake money might have come from. But what happens if they jump to the wrong conclusion?


Riz is a determined character, and inquisitive and science loving readers will look forward to more of her investigations! This is a great new series about friends working together and using the skills you have.
