Fayson has always dreamt of being an FBI detective, taking inspiration from the characters of her favourite books, so when her cousins invite her to stay with them, it's her perfect opportunity. The thing is, she doesn't particularly get on with them and struggles to relate to their way of living.

I'm a huge fan of Kereen's When Life Gives You Mangoes, so I was very, very excited to read The Case Of The Lighthouse Intruder, and it did not disappoint in the slightest I'm so happy this is going to be a series because I'm so invested! On the mystery side, there's a gang of kids on a private island just off Jamaica who have seen someone in a lighthouse who shouldn't be there, and they've been unable to figure out who they are or what they're up to in there despite repeated attempts. When Fayson arrives on the island with her cousins, who are both in the gang already, she's challenged to solve the mystery in three days. What follows is a series of investigations, sleepovers, stakeouts, break ins, a lot of deductive thinking and a classic reveal. Moving from one part of the world to another is an exciting experience not least because experiences in both places will be so very different and often lend themselves perfectly to storytelling. Kereen Getten grew up in Jamaica before moving to Birmingham (UK). She has used this opportunity to tell stories about her childhood which was often spent climbing fruit trees in the family garden and eating as many fruits as possible without being caught! From this might you guess that she loves to write about mysteries, and her latest The Case of the Lighthouse Intruder takes us into the world of Di Island Crew and their first. Fayson and her mother live in a small city apartment in Jamaica, where money is tight, despite Mama working long hours as a nurse. Fayson reluctantly agrees to spend half term with her annoying twin cousins, Aaron and Omar, but worries that she’ll feel out of place in their fancy holiday home on an island off the Jamaican coast. The second book, The Case of the Haunted Wardrobe, will come in October 2023, and The Case of the Abandoned Boat in 2024. The series follows Getten’s novels When Life Gives You Mangoes (Pushkin Children’s Books) and If You Read This (Pushkin Children’s Books).

An absolutely charming, lively and fun mystery adventure set on a lush Caribbean island, introducing the reader to an engaging , feisty and likeable young character with a love of crime-busting stories. 12-year-old aspiring detective, Fayson, is unexpectedly invited to her (rich) cousin's summer holiday home. Happy enough in her book-filled world of mysteries to solve, Fayson isn't all that keen. However, her mama, working all the hours she can as a nurse to make ends somehow meet, insists that she go. Why are Omar and Aaron so keen for Fayson to join them on the island? After all, they’ve only ever teased her relentlessly and then boasted of their wealth? However, it seems they’re desperate! What’s more, although Fayson and her mother are perfectly happy in their city life, Fayson’s mother wants her to go.
