Will Shakespeare Mysteries: The Stinky Stolen Toenails - Kaz Penney

 

Will Shakespeare is a young boy solving crime in Tudor Stratford-upon-Avon.  In his first case, he and his best friend, Tybalt, are on the hunt for Henry VIII's incredibly smelly toenail clippings which have been stolen from the Moundsofgoo family.  If they aren't found and returned then Ronaldo won't be able to marry the love of his life, Judy Catapult, for the toenails (also known as the Moundsofgoo Treasure) are required as the dowry.  Can Will and Tybalt find the magic toenails with their mysterious healing properties before its too late?

The Stinky Toenails is a whole heap of fun from beginning to end.  Whether it's Will and Tybalt's antics, the character names or the humour that is woven through everything, I know that the book is going to be a big hit, especially with fans of Loki and Wimpy Kid.

Will is a master at avoiding doing his chores and helping out at home which is why he ends up trying to help Ronaldo in his quest to marry Judy.  Together, Will and Tybalt are a force to be reckoned with as they try to discover who the thief is.  Readers will be able to guess along as they laugh their way through the book.  With bits of history in the mix and wonderful illustrations from Sammy Elgie, The Stinky Stolen Toenails is a book that is bound to be a huge hit when it publishes on the 26th March.
