Following the delightful KATE ON THE CASE, Kate is back in her second adventure, this time on a jungle river cruise.
Our aspiring special correspondent is on the adventure of a lifetime cruising upriver in the jungle aboard a paddle steamer. She becomes intrigued by the story of the secretive silver wibbler bird and it's not long before Kate and young scout Bertie are hot on the heels of an exciting mystery in which hilarious mayhem engulfs the boat.
With the old-fashioned charm of Paddington Bear and the spirit of Pippi Longstocking, Kate is the perfect adventure heroine for young readers aged 5 to 9.
Young reporter-in-training Kate and her mouse-accomplice Rupert are on board a train, to visit Kate's mum in the Arctic.
But as soon as the train departs, mysterious things start happening.
A packet of ginger nuts goes missing . . .
A collection of gymnastics trophies are stolen . . .
And some ancient scrolls disappear . . .
Fellow passenger Madame Maude seems the most likely culprit, until a surprising - and delicious - twist turns the whole investigation on its head.
First in a witty two-colour chapter-book series about a bold young detective and a colourful cast of suspects, in a setting worthy of Agatha Christie.
