December/January - Wilma Tenderfoot and the Case of the Frozen Hearts by Emma Kennedy

The Book Group met today to discuss our latest read - Emma Kennedy's Wilma Tenderfoot and the Case of the Frozen Hearts.

This is from the book's blurb:

"Wilma Tenderfoot dreams of one day becoming assistant to the world-famous and very serious detective Theodore P. Goodman.
But the last thing Mr Goodman wants is a small and slightly accident-prone sidekick - especially one with an over-friendly beagle called Pickle who keeps eating all the clues.
Still, she's not about to give up - Wilma Tenderfoot may be small, but she is very determined."

The book is funny, exciting and a bit scary in places. It has lots of lovely black and white illustrations.

The Book Group really enjoyed Wilma Tenderfoot, and had fun trying to solve the clues and work out who was the thief (but no-one was right!). Most people wanted to go on and read the next two Wilma Tenderfoot books.
Recommended to anyone aged from 8 to 12.
