Libby and the Manhattan Mystery

LoveReading4Kids Says

Third book in Jo Clarke’s fabulously thrilling The Travelling School Mysteries , Libby and the Manhattan Mystery is a feast of adventure, glamour and (of course!) mystery as Libby and her mates arrive in NYC. Their excitement soars to new heights when Count Alvarez takes them on a helicopter trip over the Big Apple, but why is he behaving so strangely, and what’s happened to the money he’d fundraised?

As Anastasia asks, “who would leave loads of cash lying around? Why isn’t he using a bank like normal people?”

At the same time, the pupils volunteer at a centre for families in need, and find themselves organising a fundraising auction alongside a Hollywood star. Oh, and they also find themselves embroiled in a baffling mystery involving the Count and some missing jewels… Fans of detective fiction will love following the twisty trails of clues, and the crew’s clever, careful setting of traps, with Becka Moor’s characterful illustrations and map of Manhattan further enhancing an immersive reading experience.
