10 Rules For Detectives

by Kierin Meehan

We always knew we'd be awesome private detectives. Problem was, Boris and me live in this small country town, and we couldn't find anything to detect. But then, last month, a horse-riding ghost appeared, and a whole lot of creepy bats flew into town . . .

So how did we end up on the trail of a bushranger's hidden treasure? And how did we end up working with Julia Kelly, the most annoying girl in town, the world and probably the universe?

Reviews

[Connor · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I would have loved this book back when I was a kid, but still enjoyed it now anyhow. :)
If ever a '10 More Rules for Detectives' comes out, I will be getting one.
I would recommend the book to any creatively thinking or mystery seeking kids.
