Review
Skye Starling lives in quiet Seagull’s Nest, where nothing exciting ever happens. This suits Skye just fine as she likes to spend her time in the library reading her favourite detective novels and writing her own book.
Skye has just finished writing her book when it gets stolen - and suddenly all the crimes she made up are happening in real life! Will Skye and her new friend Bailey be able to solve the mystery and save the town?
This is a great detective story that is lots of fun and very fast-paced. You’ll love Skye and Bailey, and be cheering them on as you try and solve the mystery along with them. Perfect for lovers of detective stories in middle and upper primary.
