Chirp by Kate Messner
4.0
When Mia moves to Vermont the summer after seventh grade to be closer to her grandmother she's hoping to continue her routine of watching TV and eating snacks. But when Mia finds out her grandmother believes someone is sabotaging her cricket farm Mia and her new friends start working solve the case while trying to drum up more business with new ideas. All of this keeps Mia busy but she still finds it hard to come to terms with the broken arm that ended her gymnastics career and all the lead up to it. With the help of new friends Mia's determined to make her voice heard.
The blurb I initially read focused heavily on the mystery of the cricket farm but this book is more than that. Mia is finding herself again while coming to her terms with happened. It focuses on Mia's business plans with friends and her rediscovering her strength. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Go for people who like coming of age stories or protagonist overcoming a challenge.
