If you
enjoy a good mystery story, then your kids probably will too. So, I’m delighted
to launch four mystery ‘whodunnits’ especially for young readers around the age
of 9-12 years.
Fishing for Clues, Stealing the Show,
Pushing his Luck and
Pointing the Finger are 24,000 word
books full of mystery and adventure that your kids are going to love.
I
was first commissioned to write these four titles back in 2000 by Scholastic
Children’s Books as Sealed Mysteries, which had a final pull-out chapter. I’ve
now given them a revamp, minus the pull-out chapter.
Now each book has a secret
link to my website if the young reader wants some help with clues and red
herrings.
These
are all Murder Mysteries – but don’t worry, they aren’t going to give your
child nightmares. They aren’t written to scare the reader – although, as you
might expect, there’s plenty of tension and excitement.
But if your budding
Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple is lying awake at night, it’ll be because they’re
fathoming out who did the crime not because they are scared!
Here’s
a little about each title:
Jake
and Candy help their dad to clean up his new canal narrow boat. But there’s a
mystery surrounding the previous owner – Benjamin Fisher has simply
disappeared. No one knows where he’s gone – or do they? As Jake and Candy begin
to find out more about Benjamin and the people he knew, they start to think
there might be more to his disappearance than meets the eye.
Stealing the Show
It’s
the chance of a lifetime! Emma has won a competition to spend the weekend with
the hottest new boy-band around, Street Wise. She and her friend, Lucy, fly to
France on the band’s private jet, watching the concerts, going backstage… It
all sounds brilliant. Until something deadly happens…
Pushing his Luck
Rachel
and her little sister, Jessica, love listening to the wonderful stories their
elderly neighbour, Henry, tells them. So, when Henry is found dead at the
bottom of the stairs in their block of flats, the girls are devastated. The
police believe Henry lost his balance and fell, but Rachel and Jessica are
convinced that he was pushed. That it was murder…
Pointing the Finger
So, could you be an Ace Detective and
solve these crimes?
