Crime & mystery fiction (Children's&YA)

A dash of colourful characters, a pinch of danger and generous scoops of adventure make a terrific culinary mystery for young readers. Five cousins are looking forward to their annual holiday at their grandmother's cottage. None of them knows that this may be their last such summer, as a mining company has set its sights on the land and is determined to seize it. Grandma must produce the deed to prove that the property is really hers, but her memory is not what it used to be and she can't find it. The children need to find the clues - but can they do it in time?
