An hilarious read, laugh-out-loud, humour for young and old(er) to enjoy. Embracing teamwork, community, friendship, recycling, awareness of our smaller earth-bound neighbours, and some STEAM invention fun… ‘Beastie Bros : The Cabbage Juice Crime’ is a bugtastic top pick from me!

An ode to Sherlock Holmes and Piet Mondrian, this noiresque, Tintin-style detective mystery instantly drew me in! Detective Stanley - a not-for-the-want-of-trying almost retired old dog of crime-solving fame in Narlybone town - is just about to tuck into his stack of pancakes at breakfast, a bird delivers a plea for help… irresistible for his eccentric crime-fighting mind to refuse. 

Katherine Woodfine retells Lottie's true story with a delightful narrative. The reader is given a little background to Lottie's early life in the 1870s.

Her Mother gave her some great advice: “Girls can’t play tennis as well as boys? What a load of nonsense!…You can do anything you want if you set your mind to it.” Go Mrs Dod!!
