Yes please!

Yes please. DD is just getting in to longer books and this sounds lovely.

I would love a copy of this please. My daughter is to young to read it but my niece is just getting into reading and this would definitely encourage her. Thanks x

Ohh, signed up for this Dd is a big Holly Webb fan.

I would love to receive a copy for DS & DD. DD reads constantly and finally her older brother is catching up Smile

After years and years of trying to get DS interested in books, he finally started reading for pleasure about 2 weeks ago. He will be 10yo soon, but his reading skills are a bit behind. I think this book would be ideal for him.

Yes please I would love to receive the book and introduce the story to my grandchildren plus me, Nana the story teller. Many thanks.

I have been searching for the book that would switch my dd onto reading in the way Percy Jackson did with my ds. The mixture of animals and intrigue may just do the trick (and I could pinch it afterwards for my classroom!).

mumandlawyer · 12/05/2013 09:19

Trying desperately at the moment to get my DS more interested in reading. I am at war with electronical devices! A detective story may just do the trick so yes please!

My daughter would love this. She reads all the time and a book is finished about half an hour after buying it. This genre would be good too.

gregcal · 11/05/2013 20:45

Hi! I am a retired teacher and I would give this book to my former colleague for use in her classroom. It is good that there is something different to promote reading .

simonthedog · 11/05/2013 14:07

Yes please think my DD 6 would love this.

There seems to be a current trend for detective stories for 5 -10 year old girls....DD seems to have quite a few on her bookshelves...

weathermum · 09/05/2013 17:31

this book would be ideal for my grandaughter who will be visiting from Canada in a weeks time she loves books and animals so it would be ideal... help her get over the jetlag or keep her occupied if its wet
