Shirley & Jamila Save Their Summer is about two 10 year old girls who meet unexpectedly only to find that their friendship might just fix their unappealing plans for the summer. Did Shirley happen to mention she’s a kid detective?

With the help of other neighbourhood kids, the two new friends set out to solve the case involving missing gecko, a stolen backpack and a gross incident at a public pool.

While parents, rules, and the limitations of being a 10 year old in the city all threaten to get in the way, both girls learn something new: Jamila learns she has an unexpected spark for mystery…

… and Shirley discovers an unexpected affinity for friendship.
