​About The Mizzy Mysteries

​
Twelve-year-old Mizzy dreams of being a detective and she won't let anything stand in her way -- not her reputation for tall tales, or her embarrassing fear of escalators, and definitely not her Down syndrome.

​Dumped for the summer with cousins who've outgrown her, Mizzy feels even more sidelined than usual. But when she discovers Great Aunt Jane's diaries in a locked wardrobe in their spare room, and realizes her aunt didn't die in her sleep but under suspicious circumstances, everything changes. What's more . . . someone in the family appears to have been involved.

Under the guise of a family tree project for school, and armed with a brand new set of Pipsqueak markers, Mizzy grabs the chance to prove herself to her cousins — and the world.

​'I relate to Mizzy in so many ways ― our curiosity, our love for problem-solving, and we both have big dreams. We also happen to have an extra chromosome in common, and I love that it's the least interesting thing about her!” - Madison Tevlin, Host, Actor, Model & Advocate
