The Disappearing Daughter

LoveReading4Kids Says

In a nutshell: comic triumphs and mishaps of school boy super-sleuth

Damian Drooth’s life changes when he comes across a book called A Hundred Ways to Catch a Criminal.  Overnight he is transformed from – in his words – ‘bored brat’ and ‘droopy drop-out’ to school boy super-sleuth. His first attempts at crime solving are not entirely successful to put it mildly, but then he gets the chance to lend the police a hand in a real life kidnapping.

The mix of perfectly observed ordinary boy behaviour (a la Horrid Henry) and zany far-fetched adventure make these stories hugely satisfying and enjoyable. Packed full of illustrations by Tony Ross they’re great for children happy to read on their own, but read aloud wonderfully too: adults will find much to amuse them in Damian’s wry comments and moments of self-awareness. Great fun!  ~ Andrea Reece
