Sleuth on Skates

2013

A brand new contemporary mystery series for 9-11 year olds sees the launch of a laugh-out-loud new voice in children's fiction. Armed with a pair of purple rollerskates and a brain with as many connections as there are stars in the universe, eleven-year-old Sesame Seade is more than qualified to be Cambridge's number one self-made supersleuth. All she needs now is a mission. So when a student ballerina and aspiring journalist vanishes into thin air, some serious sleuthing begins. Very much against her parents' wishes, but with help from her friends Toby and Gemma and a conspiratorial duck, Sesame slips into the wings and solves the mystery of the missing dancer. Illustrated throughout with hilarious artwork by Sarah Horne, this series features a smart and sassy heroine with a unique take on life. Also in the series: GARGOYLES GONE AWOL and SCAM ON THE CAM.

The hilarious, impertinent and brilliant Sesame Seade is back in her third adventure! Eleven-year-old Sesame Seade, Cambridge's number-one supersleuth, knows that mysteries turn up in unexpected places. But even unflappable Sesame is surprised to discover a locked treasure chest nestled along the bank of the River Cam. She's certain it belongs to pirates, but before she can investigate, another mystery floats her way: several Cambridge University rowing team members are coming down with a terrible stomach bug—and with the world-famous Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge looming, Sesame suspects foul play. But who would be horrible enough to actually make a bunch of rowers sick? And could the treasure chest have something to do with their illness? It's going to take some telltale frogs, a kidnapping, and a high-speed motorboat chase for Sesame to save the day once again!
