2 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Meet Violet Remy-Robinson, an amateur Sherlock Holmes in the making... When a new family move in next door, Violet is sure there's something strange about them. Then her eccentric, but lovely neighbour, Dee Dee Derota, has a precious jewel stolen. Could the new family be to blame? Violet is on the case to uncover the truth… With a beautiful hardback package complete with two colour illustrations throughout by emerging talent, Becka Moore, everyone is bound to fall in love with Violet and the colourful characters that make up her world. Perfect for fans of Dixie O'Day, Ottoline, Goth Girl and Darcy Burdock. Praise for the Violet series: 'Whitehorn's debut is pacey and imaginative and Becka Moor's illustrations a delight. Perfect for readers who liked the Ottoline books by Chris Riddell.' The Times 'Effortlessly gorgeous' Moontrug 'An adventure brimful of charm, told with brio and a good deal of panache…Young readers, particularly fans of Lauren Child, will be very taken with Violet and her world' Books for Keeps 'A great heroine, an intriguing mystery, and brilliant use of language… Hugely recommended' YAyeahyeah 'Sherlock better watch out, 'cos Violet's about!'

For Christmas Bella asked for a book about a girl who goes on an adventure. She got the Violet series and has just finished book one - she loved it and I‘m so proud of my littlest one who has become such a confident reader and now knows she can finish a chapter book all by herself! She‘s excited to start the New Year with the next in the series. Would recommend this for ages 7-9 #raisingreaders

What an adorable little read! These are out in the UK and will be released in the US later this fall. Rose and Violet team up to recover a stolen pearl when no one believes their eye-witness account of the theft. Cute characters, darling illustrations.
