I re-read this book in the school holidays. Instead of practicing for a concert, I think you’ll agree, it’s eminently more sensible.

A middle-grade mystery always appeals to me, and this one’s set in Paris! Not only that, the protagonists are a group of canny time-thieves.

When I first discovered this book, I was bursting with fruit flavour. Every type; banana, watermelon, strawberry, kiwi… strawberry and kiwi.

For fans of musicals, this is a book for you. No doubt the tunes will be so familiar, that as you read, you’ll be able to sing the songs.

If you wish to be moved, inspired, and amazed by the incredible stories middle-grade authors are telling, this is certainly the book for you
