***STARRED REVIEW***
"Miriam's bouncy energy and hilarious commentary make this a laugh-out-loud page-turner that young readers will adore...This book has everything: diverse characters, a funny and entertaining plot, and a stand-out, memorable main character. An essential purchase for all."―School Library Journal
Miriam is the youngest in her family, and she is tired of being treated like the baby. So, using her superior detective skills, she sets out to debunk the fantastical things that people tell gullible kids, starting with the Tooth Fairy.
When her first tooth comes loose, Miriam is determined to prove to her friends and family that the tooth fairy isn't real. She's going to lay the perfect trap . . . just as soon as her tooth actually comes out.
But despite all her scheming, her investigation doesn't go to plan. Maybe, just maybe, the tooth fairy is real after all?
