The second novel from winner of the MacMillan Prize for Picture Book Illustration Kate Pankhurst. The perfect book for 7-9 yr olds who love funny stories with quirky illustrations like DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, the DORK DIARIES and CLARICE BEAN. Mariella Mystery (That's me!) - totally amazing girl detective, aged 9 and a bit. Able to solve the most mysterious mysteries and perplexing problems, even before breakfast. Someone is trying to sabotage the Great Puddleford Bake-Off, 'Bake or Break'. It's up to Mariella and her Mystery Girls to work out who, to save the Victoria sponges and pavlovas and prevent the entire contest from turning into a veritable Cupcake Catastrophe and Kitchen Nightmare.

I really enjoyed this book because it is about a girl and her friends (the mystery girls) solving crimes and just being detectives. My favourite character was Mariella Mystery. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy mystery and crime books.

I like this book because it is very mysterious and I like how they made it into a kind of diary! It's so mysterious and I wanted to read it until I finished it. My favourite character was Mariella because she noticed so many things that I would have never ever noticed! She's so smart. I'd recommend this book to those who like mysteries solved by girls mostly.

This book is from my favorite series and I do recommend this for those fussy readers like me! I'm so happy that there is this book! I really enjoy these series and wish there were a huge pile of these books still left for me to read! I give a huge thank you to the author and all authors for spending time to actually write a story as short as a word because you never know if we never have a TV in front of our eyes.

This is yet another fiction book belonging to the series Mariella Mystery Investigates. However, later in the story Mariella is framed for wrecking the bakery competition. I admire her courage in this situation because she kept calm.

Mariella Mystery loves investigating mysteries, so it's brilliant her friends Poppy and Violet are The Mystery Girls! So when Violet goes into the finals on Puddleford Baking Contest, something fishy starts happening...

Mystery Girls in action! Can Mariella and her friends find out who it is and what's going on, or will it ruin everyone's chances?
