The blurb says..... "What I want," Laura declared, "is to have a life packed with excitement like some of the characters in my books."

This is what attracted me to the book as I used to think exactly the same, when I was young.

I started this on a Sunday morning and didn't want to put it down, so, I didn't. I spent a lazy day just reading. It took me back to my childhood when I would read lots of books like this one.

Cornwall themed book for the St Piran's Day Exchange.

Recived in St Pirans day exchange parcel

**** Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option. ****

Thanks for the book. Hope to enjoy it as much as those before me.

Glorious. I loved it as much as all the previous readers. A totally engrossing page turner. No wonder this was voted by children readers as the book of the year (2011).

Enjoyed immensely. This took me back to my book-devouring childhood, so naturally read it in one sitting :)
A child-detective mystery of the modern ages. St Ives is now on my list of places to visit!

On my way to mahjong night, thought I'd drop off some books in their neighborhood...
