Trapped!

ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A new adventure with one of my favourite young heroines. Tan is as feisty and as curious (or should that be imaginatively inquisitive?) as ever. She is also still very concerned with recording her observations with the correct pen whilst being properly accessorised! In this new story, the holidays are about to start, there is a mysterious boy (or is he a gypsy) and Tan has to look after her neighbour's yard while Mrs Topple is away. When a strange car and a shadowy figure keep appearing, Tan knows her Great Detective skills are called for, and with the help of her friends (and assorted animals) she is going to solve the mystery. Ages 7-10. Lindy Jones

The next title in the best-selling and very popular Truly Tan series.  Way out in the country, Mrs Topple is Tan's closest neighbour. But Mrs Topple has gone on a cruise and Tan is in charge of security at the Topple cottage.  Tan is also looking after the garden and watering the plants. But mostly she's in charge of security. Which is just as well because something suspicious is going on.  A strange car has been coming and going and a shadowy figure has been spotted snooping around. And now Tan has noticed items moving around in the garden - on their own!  As tensions mount, Tan decides a stake-out is in order. Little does she know she is walking straight into a trap.  Ages: 8 years+
