Teen Witch Detective (Nancy Drew style)

A young teenage girl, moving into the (family's) old beaten down mansion with her mother after her parent's divorce, stumbles into a hidden room while unpacking.

After reading the mysterious book left open on a suspiciously witchy table, she realizes her ancestor was a witch, and that she has inherited her magical gifts! When trouble stirs around her new hometown, she uses her powers to solve the mysteries that come her way.

I'm having trouble coming up with her first mystery.

Should it deal with her new high school? An actual murder? Kidnapping? Theft?

Should she deal with paranormal creatures? Or should I stick with human foes?

Should her familiar be a cat? Or maybe have a crow following her when she goes to school/and or work?

Let me hear your thoughts!

The plot is the hardest part for me.

Re: Familiar: Cat is really common. I mean, it's a classic for a reason, but it's everywhere. I think it'd be funny to have some kind of mythological creature, perhaps one that no one else can see. Could make for wacky hijinks, if it has a mind of its own.
